Is there any way to create quarter tones in musicntwrk or is that outside the current scope? I'm interested in seeing what can be done with Maqam, or more usefully, the Jins that they are built on if subjected to randomisation.

Any suggestions?

actually the iChing.py file is in the download list for unit 4.2. You can download it from there and make sure it is in the same folder as the notebook...

I couldn't find the file music21rc.txt after downloading Musescore. Any suggestions?

Check the install text document in the installation lecture notes, you need to create music21rc with the parameters from the install text

MuseScore is now at version 4 since 21 March but I was getting an error that the jupyter notebook couldn't find version 3 - renaming the MuseScore version to 3 and editing the music21rc file to point at it fixes this.

You need to create it and then remove the .txt extension and make sure it's in your home directory.

us = environment.UserSettings()
us['musescoreDirectPNGPath'] = r'C:\Program Files\MuseScore 4\bin\MuseScore4.exe' so, see right the music notation but,,, i cannot see the midi player and not play midi files. What could i made wrong ?

I can't see the midi player either, everything else is working fine

midi player not working for me either, but it seems like windows doesn't come with a preinstalled MIDI player. googling for that only offers me to pay for the official option on the microsoft store, which I haven't tried yet

When I import pyo, I get an error that python can't find libFLAC.12.dylib, which was supposed to have been installed with flac from homebrew. From reading around online, it looks like it may have something to do with running this on the OSX 15 (Sequoia) operating system. Not entirely sure how to solve it though.

Hi, sorry about your problem... I have been running on Sequoia and all previous OS with no problem. The libFLAC.12.dylib should be in the site-packages/pyo/ folder of the python installation (assuming you are using Anaconda). See if the file exists somewhere else...

I had the same problem and i changed libFLAC.14.dylib to libFLAC.12.dylib in the homebrew folder it may have not been a good idea but it worked
