Creating Sheet Music In Cakewalk Products

If you are working with a pre-existing MIDI file, begin by printing the Tracks that contain the Melody and Bass Accompaniment from a MIDI file to use it as Sheet Music.  Open a MIDI file, click the M on apiece Track except for the first Track, choose Transport, Play, and listen to the Track to determine whether or not the Track contains the Melody or Bass Accompaniment.  (If you don’t hear anything when you press Play, you can disconnect your MIDI cables from your computer, then on the Output field of your MIDI track, choose Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth; this might require closing and reopening Cakewalk and your file.)  Now, mute the first Track and unmute the second Track and repeat this process until you have identified the two (2) Tracks that you’ll need to use to print the file as Sheet Music.  After the two (2) Tracks have been identified, highlight them by hovering over the first Track and left-click, then hold down the CTRL key and hover over the second Track and left-click; both Tracks are highlighted.  Choose Views, Staff, then choose File, and at the bottom of the menu, scroll crossways the arrows to the right and choose Print Preview. Choose a format from the Configure button, then choose Print.

Once you have printed from your MIDI file, if the music you printed is simple to read, you’re finished.  If you find that it is very cumbersome to read, you can edit the music to make it more readable.  After you finish reading this article and decide on a method for making the sheet music more readable, you’ll want to read my article, “Music: How To Write A Song – Midi And Sheet Music–Structure Of A Song,” to help you comprehend the structural dynamics of preparing sheet music.

There are at least 4 methods to to create sheet music, but be prepared to work for it!  Briefly described, here are the four (4) methods I advocate in this article:

Enter Sheet Music Manually – If you’re only looking to enter sheet music manually, visit my article, “How to Edit MIDI Music Notation in Cakewalk Products,” but don’t desert this article because you might discover some easier methods to create sheet music here.  Additionally, if you’re new at creating sheet music, you should also read the information in my article, “Music: How To Write A Song – Midi And Sheet Music–Structure Of A Song,”
Record With Structure – even though you might have recorded the song before, use a metronome and record (or rerecord) your song, being careful to keep within the boundaries of the metronome’s timing – if you mess up during recording, leave some empty space and begin playing again from a good starting point (overlaps are okay and even encouraged because they help you to blend your data) – you can edit out the errors and combine the MIDI pieces after you are done.
Edit Your Performance MIDI Tracks – review the MIDI tracks you have already recorded and edit them using Cakewalk’s automated editing tools along with manual edits to make the MIDI music score more readable.  Be sure to edit apiece track in congruence with other tracks that play parallel to it.
Review Your Performance MIDI Tracks And Produce Sheet Music In Another Program – by reviewing the MIDI tracks you have already recorded, you can refer measures that over-run and enter a simplified version of your music score manually into another MIDI track or program.

The remainder of this article describes these four (4) methods in greater detail.

PREPARATION: Before you begin, open Cakewalk, and in Staff View, set the MIDI Timing Resolution (timebase) to 048; choose Options, Project, Clock, Ticks Per Quarter-Note, click on 048, then click OK.  Now, hover over the icons until you find one that indicates it is the “Snap to Grid” icon–click it to make sure it is On.

METHOD 1: Enter Sheet Music Manually

Step 1.1: My article,”Music: How To Write A Song – Midi And Sheet Music–Structure Of A Song,” provides a good foundation for understanding the format that your sheet music will need.

Step 1.2: Once you have gained that knowledge, my article, “How to Edit MIDI Music Notation in Cakewalk Products,” provides a good tutorial on how to properly manipulate MIDI music notes into the necessary formats within apiece measure in Cakewalk products.

Please note that I find it very cumbersome to enter music notation into Cakewalk products manually, and I like to use one of MakeMusic’s products for this task.

Advantages: MakeMusic’s products produce more professional-looking Sheet Music.  The biggest advantage is that when you enter a note, it isn’t affected by adjacent notes to the point of changing the value of the previous note you entered as can happen in Cakewalk products.  The biggest advantage these programs have is that they will execute repeats correctly and they grant you to enter more than one Lyrics line (verse 1, verse 2, etc.).  These programs are designed more like word processing programs, but ithey have the integrity to keep your data true to what you entered, and they will save your Sheet Music as an expressive MIDI file.

Disadvantages: The only problem I typically encounter in MakeMusic’s programs are, if I forgot to count the values of the notes in a measure as I am entering notes, they can near a pre-existing rest into the next measure, and when this happens, it is virtually impossible to remove the shifted rest.  If this happens, it is saint to Undo your change, delete the rest first (by erasing), then re-enter your notes.  The instrumentation provided in these programs are limited, but if you’re using the product primarily for Sheet Music, that souldn’t be an issue.  I highly advocate taking really good notes when reviewing the video tutorials for these programs, and you should exercise the pause function so that you can be thorough with your notes.  If you are thorough, you shouldn’t have to look for many more answers once you’ve finished the tutorial series.

METHOD 2: Record With Structure

Step 2.1: Replay your performance from a MIDI keyboard into a Cakewalk MIDI track using the correct Timing, Tempo, and an Audio Metronome.  Choose View(s), Track, then choose File, New, Normal, and click the R on the MIDI track until it turns Red; then choose Options, Project, Clock, make sure it is set it to 48 Ticks Per Quarter-Note, then under Metronome, General, click Use Audio Metronome, then click OK.  Lastly, make sure that the Snap to Grid picture is active.

Step 2.2: Set up as many MIDI tracks as you think you will need (at least one per instrument, possibly two for your piano [one for treble clef and one for bass clef]).  To insert additional MIDI tracks, choose Insert, MIDI Track.

Step 2:3: In order to synchronize your keyboard/piano to Cakewalk MusicCreator 4 or 5, click on my article, “How to Edit MIDI Music Notation in Cakewalk Products,” and follow the instructions in Steps 9 and 10,

Step 2:4: Before you begin recording, choose your first MIDI track by clicking it to highlight it, and on the Track Properties block, click the tiny Triangle in the upper right-hand side of the Track Properties block to open the block, or position the cursor between two MIDI tracks and click and drag downward in order to expand/open the block.  Change the Input field to MIDI, change the Channel field to 1 (or appropriate channel), change the Bank field if you know what Bank you like (these are contained in the Instrument Definition Files [*.ins] that you used to synchronize your instrument, but should also be defined in your instrument’s instruction manual), and change the Patch field to the instrument of your choice.  Choose Transport, Record, to begin your recording session.  Save your work frequently.

Step 2.5: As you hear the audio metronome (4/4 timing would produce a beat like this: CLICK, click, click, click, CLICK, click, click, click), play the tune of your song on your MIDI keyboard / piano to the timing of the metronome the saint that you can — if you mess up, don’t stop the recording, just move a few measures and begin playing at the beginning of the next measure.  Even though this would be ideal, it’s actually better, when you make a mistake, to replay a measure or two prior to your mistake in order to “lead in” to the next measure because you can make sure that you even out your tempo prior to where the mistake occurred; afterwards you can edit  out the extra material in order to pull the music back together so that it is correct.  I advocate recording with overlapping measures when there are mistakes because you can go back and edit your performance to eliminate poorly played extra measures and then near the measures back together as they should have been, and it grants you to capture data more swiftly than if you stop and begin a recording to try to capture your performance.  As long as you manage to capture apiece measure within the calibrated metronome timing properly, editing will be simple to remove any errors or gaps.

Step 2.6: Record A Piano Track–When recording the piano, you should record the piano performance to one track by playing both hands on the piano into one track.  For advanced users, highlight the track, choose View(s), Staff, and find the Layout button by hovering over the icons until you find it, click the icon, and choose your clef as Treble and Bass Clef.

After you edit your recorded data, you can highlight the Piano track and choose Track, Clone Track, then you can delete the Bass Clef from the first duplicate track and delete the Treble Clef from the second duplicate track.  The reason I advocate this is because sounds become easier to modulate their volumes from reaching their peaks [and clipping] when the tonal frequencies are separated into high, medium, and low ranges [Hertz/kiloHertz], and Treble and Clef are an simple points of separation that are comparable to medium and high frequencies (a Bass instrument would remember as a low frequency).

Step 2.7: Record A Flute And/Or Violin Track (Optional)–When recording any other instrument, record the instrument into its own track – unless you tamper with the settings, it should automatically carry the same Tempo, Timing, and Metronome settings that the previous recording had. Step 2.8: Preserve Your Original MIDI Tracks Before Editing (Optional)–Once you have recorded your MIDI tracks, choose the first MIDI track by highlighting it and choose Tracks, Clone, OK, then go to the next MIDI track and repeat this process until all of your MIDI tracks have been copied.  Double-click the Track Names to rename them (Example: “Track 1 original”, “Track 1 copy”). Go back to your “original” MIDI Tracks, and perform another clone, highlight the “original” MIDI Track and choose Tracks, Clone, and under Clone Tracks, unclick Clone Events; this will produce an empty MIDI Track to which you can copy your music notation in order to weed out the errors that occurred in the process of playing your instrument and recording the performance.  You are now ready to edit your performance. Step 2.9: Edit Your Performance–Visit my article, “How to Edit MIDI Music Notation in Cakewalk Products,” to learn how to manipulate the MIDI data you capture from this procedure. Step 2.10: Prepare Titles/Credits For Sheet Music–Select File, Info, and fill in the Title and Subtitle of your song. In the Instructions field, type any text that you would like to display on the left side of the page just above the music score, you could place Allegro here, or anything else you’d like to appear in this position on the page. List the Authors of the Music, Arrangement, and Lyrics in the Author field similar to this:

Music by John Doe, Arrangement by Sally Doe, Lyrics by Jane Doe

In the Copyright field, remove the word “Copyright”, leave the symbol “©”, and remove the word “by” because the correct copyright declaration does not include both the word and the symbol, and it also does not include the word “by”.  Type © with the year and with your study as you want it to be for the copyright-the result should look like this:

© 2010 John Doe, Sally Doe, and Jane Doe

Step 2.11: Print Your Sheet Music–Select Views, Staff, then choose File, and at the bottom of the menu, scroll crossways the arrows to the Right and choose Print Preview. You can choose some formats from the Configure button. Choose Print and then click the Properties button to choose the calibre of the printout, click OK.  Unless you’re printing a sample copy for which you would want to choose Draft-quality printing, choose the highest calibre printing acquirable – choose “Best” if available, and choose 600 dpi (dots-per-square-inch) or greater, if available.  Make sure you have the correct printer selected.  Enter the number of pages you would like to print and click OK. Cakewalk does not offer the capability to place any other notices on your music.  It would be wise after printing to add words at the bottom of apiece page that give information on how to contact you, as well as stipulating “All Rights Reserved,” even though this notation is not required by copyright laws.  You can print your sheet music and then scan your sheet music and edit it in Microsoft Paint or Paintbrush in order to add words to the bottom of your song, then print again.  This also gives the capability to imbed your file into Microsoft Word or PowerPoint so that you can submit your copyright application electronically.

Another substitute would be to print your sheet music from Cakewalk, and then use another program to type words that you know would be in the correct position below your music if you run your printed music back through your printer to apply a second printing to add words at the bottom of apiece page that give information on how to contact you, as well as stipulating “All Rights Reserved,” even though this notation is not required by copyright laws.

When choosing a format to save your scanned images, the saint choices are *.BMP or *.TIF because these formats carry higher resolution and don’t grant degrading on saving/resaving like *.GIF or *.JPG does.  For *.BMP, save at the highest level available, 24-bit is best, 256 colors is 2nd best, and 16 colors is the lowest calibre *.BMP available.

METHOD 3: Edit Your Performance MIDI Tracks

When a musician plays a MIDI instrument and records the performance into a MIDI recording program, the music might sound wonderful, but the music notation is usually impossible to read.  This is preplexing, especially if you wanted some Sheet Music from your efforts.  Since the MIDI recording program renders an absolute duplicate of the actual performance with all of its nuances, inflections, subtle, and not-so-subtle delays, you’re usually left with such a mess that you don’t know what to do, and your inner demon tries to convince you to stay with your existent recording because you can read it (let’s grappling it, you’re playing from memory and it’s very hard for even you to read), but the angel on your shoulder tells you to simplify it into a more readable score – but how?  And the devil usually wins this battle.

If you’ve been caught up in getting the song produced, you probably already have MIDI files that could be edited into sheet music.  If this is the case, you can:

Step 3.1: Double-check to make sure that the Snap to Grid picture is active, and check Options, Project, Clock, Ticks Per Quarter-Note, and ensure that it is set to 048.  Edit your performance MIDI tracks by following Steps 2.8 through 2.11 in Method 2 of this procedure.

Step 3.2: Try some of Cakewalk’s automated editors such as Fill Durations, Trim Durations, and Quantization.   For comparison on what these functions will do to your music, make a copy of your original MIDI Track(s) before you try this.

Step 3.2.a: To use these functions, choose View(s), Staff (only the track[s]/staff[s] you wish to change), and for Fill or Trim Durations, hover over the icons until you find two that indicate they are the Fill and Trim Durations icons and click one of them to try it; click once and it performs its’ function, click a second time to restore the track(s)/staff(s) to their original state.

Step 3.2.b: For Quantization, highlight the specific portion of music by dragging the mouse and selecting/highlighting, then choose Process, Quantization, choose the attributes you’d like to try, and click OK; choose Edit, Undo, if any of the changes yield undesirable results.

METHOD 4: Review Your Performance MIDI Tracks And Produce Sheet Music In Another Program

Be sure to read my article, “Music: How To Write A Song – Midi And Sheet Music–Structure Of A Song,” so that you comprehend the techniques you need to use when preparing Sheet Music, then study your Cakewalk MIDI tracks that you have already recorded (your performance MIDI tracks) and use another program to enter your sheet music manually, or you can save your Cakewalk file as a MIDI file and pull that into another MIDI program, then edit the music more easily in the other program.  Personally, I like entering the notes manually in one of MakeMusic’s programs (although editing MIDI in these programs would definately be easier than in Cakewalk programs), and I don’t think about it cumbersome like entering notes into Cakewalk products; refer to Method 1, Step 1.2, Advantages and Disadvantages.

Creating And Deleting Directory in Activeperl

ActivePerl Directory Function Basics – Part 2

Introduction
This is part 2 of my series, ActivePerl Directory Function Basics. In this part of the series, you learn how to create and delete sub directories in ActivePerl.

Note: If you can't see the code or if you think anything is missing in this article (broken link, image absent), just contact me at forchatrans@yahoo.com. That is, contact me for the slightest problem you have about what you are reading.

Make Directory
From the point of view of ActivePerl inventors, creating a directory means making a directory, while deleting a directory means removing a directory. To make a directory (sub directory), you use the function,

        mkdir()

To remove a directory (sub directory), you use the function,

        rmdir()

The function obloquy resemble their meanings.

The mkdir() Function
In easy terms the syntax of the mkdir() function is,

    mkdir(dirNamePath)

The argument is the path ending with the new directory name, all in quotes, e.g. “c:/directory1/directory2/directory3/dirC”, where dirC is the new directory name. Replace the content of the file temp.pl with the following code and try it:

use strict;

print “Content-Type: text/html\n\n”;

mkdir(“c:/directory1/directory2/directory3/dirC”);

When you try the code, your browser will not display anything, since the code does not have any feedback (print) statement. However, the directory should be created. Use your operating system to go to the directory, c:/directory1/directory2/directory3, and you will see the new directory, dirC.

The mkdir() function returns true if it creates the directory successfully, otherwise it returns false. It is advisable to always check if the directory was successfully opened. The above code is superior written as:

use strict;

print “Content-Type: text/html\n\n”;

if (mkdir(“c:/directory1/directory2/directory3/dirC”))
    {
        print “Directory has been created.”;
    }

The rmdir() Function
The rmdir() function is used to remove a directory. Note; the directory must be empty before it can be removed. An empty directory might have the dot and double dot items; under such condition the directory is still considered as empty. In easy terms the syntax for the rmdir() function is,

        rmdir (dirNamePath)

The argument is the path ending with the empty directory study in quotes, e.g. “c:/directory1/directory2/directory3/dirC”, where dirC is the empty directory name. The function returns true if the delete was successful; otherwise it returns false. It is always good to check. The following code removes the directory we created above:

use strict;

print “Content-Type: text/html\n\n”;

if (rmdir(“c:/directory1/directory2/directory3/dirC”))
    {
        print “Directory has been deleted.”;
    }

Try the code (replacing the previous one). The browser will indicate that the directory has been removed. Use your operating system to go to the directory, c:/directory1/directory2/directory3, and you will no longer see the directory, dirC.

I hope you are understanding ActivePerl Directory Function Basics. Let us stop here and continue in the next part of the series.
