Instead, we will be able to place “links” to the manuscript which when clicked on will open the pdf at the given location (highlighted) so that the editorial process can be easily reviewed. This requires quite a bit of storage and is done for the whole of the piece. At present we can store snapshots of a original source manuscript of the music with the measures. What this technology will also allow is placing references to source manuscripts, facsimiles at points in the Denemo score. We have had point and click for some time – you click with the mouse on an object in the final typeset score (in the print preview window) and the Denemo cursor is moved to that note in that staff in that movement. The user seeing these names would naturally think to edit them directly there – for example, editing all the titles of the movements in this one window, rather than navigating through the movements and editing there. The score layout view would provide a more obvious place to edit the score titles etc and to set the indent and other aspects of the score, since the blocks would be identified by these fields (unless they were empty, in which the numbering would be used – movement 1, voice 2 etc). Denemo does not know how to handle lyrics on voices on that share a staff – I am not sure what it would do, but it couldn’t be pleasant! Instead we will need to save the (hierarchy) of widgets.In this case commands like PrintPart would just create a layout view containing only that part, and then use that to print.The motivation for this idea was a request for a SATB choir with the parts on two staffs, the four sets of lyrics distributed above and below the two staffs. Well, not quite: to store and reload from disk we will not want to parse the text of the custom scoreblock. Denemo just has to create the LilyPond custom score block corresponding to the layout the user has created – all the rest is already done. The user could then drag these around as they wished, omitting unwanted parts, inserting page breaks between movements, positioning Lyrics above the staff, enclosing groups of staffs in the staff groupings (Choir, Piano, Grand etc) and name the particular score layout for future use. It would hold the blocks of music data (the staffs, voices, lyric blocks etc) displayed as widgets. (This is the custom score block facility, which requires LilyPond knowledge to use).What we could do is provide a Score Layout View. But hidden away (in the LilyPond view) is all the mechanism needed to print any sort of score from the music data that Denemo holds. We have a command to print the score and one to print a part and some more specialized ones to print reduced scores etc. The layout of staffs/lyrics/voices/page breaks between movements etc is not so easy to visualize and control in Denemo.
