Score editor's modes

Hello!

I’ve been exploring OpenMusic’s capabilities a bit more and came across the score editor’s patch mode and segmentation/analysis features. Is there any documentation available about these modes? I found a paper on segmentation/analysis (I’ll check it out later), but I couldn’t find anything on patch mode, and I have no idea what it’s for :sweat_smile:

Does anyone have info or tips on how this works? I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

dear Zera,

Yes you are right. There are no official and comprehensive documentation on those points. Two reasons for this:

1- Concerning segmentation and analysis, we had to rewrite it in order to comply with the new LW. It’s working though. As it was many bugs existed since it was a work in progress. And you’re right, i based my fixes on the Jean Bresson’s article you are mentioning. You have also another source of information (which might be outdated) here:

2- Concerning ‘Patch mode’ this was also completely experimental the reason why there are no resources available on this subject. However, will soon provide you with a simple example. Although it is still not finalized. Will soon be fixed when we port OM to LW8.1 version which should hopefully make it more stable.

Best regards
K
