music-l10n's Introduction

Hello! 👋

My name is Karim Ratib. I consider myself a software "craftsman", combining professional programmer, architect, tinkerer, learner, speculator, etc.

I'm also a lifelong music fan, learner and player. This will often show up in my repos.

I'm currently working as a software engineering contractor, with the Internet Archive and the Government of British Columbia among others.

If you've got some interesting music app projects, I'd love to hear from you! I have good experience (including professional work) with Web Audio, Web MIDI, MusicXML, and lots of music theory. You can check my music demos here.

Until 2020, and for ~10 years, I led a fantastic team of programmers at a great, small organization called Meedan. We worked on collaborative annotation systems for social media, notably applied to fact-checking. We open sourced all our code.

Before Meedan, we get into archeology - thanks to Wayback Machine for preserving my sites 🙌

I offered my services as a Drupal programmer. It was fun for many years 🎉
I maintained a blog called "Confessions of an information junkie". Lots of half-baked ideas in this one 😂
I co-founded a software services company in Egypt called OpenCraft. We made lifelong friendships there 🤗
I obtained my M.Sc. in Computer Science at Université de Montréal. That was my first website! 👶
At ITWorx, the first company I joined (as employee # 1 or 2) I wrote code for Corel MotionStudio 3D, Adobe Illustrator, Microsoft Outlook, among many others.

music-l10n's Issues

Accidental not preserved within measure

opensheetmusicdisplay/opensheetmusicdisplay#903

Unicode support for Turkish/Arabic/Persian accidentals

Introduce music systems

Introduce the concept of "music systems" to music21, representing musical traditions from different cultures. For example, Arabic music with its own set of tunings, notes, scales, rhythms, etc.

Gonville font missing glyphs for Arabic & Persian accidentals

as per 0xfe/vexflow#318 (comment):

Arabic 3 quarters flat
Persian koron
Persian sori

"Play" not working on Firefox Mobile

Hi,

When loading the page on Firefox Mobile (Firefox 67.0.3 on Android), once the page is done loading, the "Play" button is greyed out. Clicking "Reset" multiple times does not seem to help.

I hope this helps!

Support microtones

MMA does not support microtones. Add support for specification and MIDI generation of microtones, or more specifically quarter tones.

Connect music21j's MIDI player to music21's IPython interface

To properly experiment with music21, IPython/Jupyter is a great tool. Only thing missing from it is to display "playable" notation directly on the web page. This is already doable in music21j, so all is needed is to wire them together.

Add support for Arabic key signatures

Add support for Turkish/Arabic/Persian quarter tone accidentals

Support MIDI Tuning Standard

To support the full range of music21's scale.AbstractScale generative properties, including microtones and alternate tunings, implement support for MTS in the MIDI.js playback component. This will probably also include generating MTS messages in the music21 midi module.
