Frescobaldi VS MusicBrainz

In other words, you do not need to embed this functionality into your editor, you simply need to have your editor communicate with this backend in order to have the basic MIDI input working! As I mentioned in my other post, the MIDI input functionality and features were heavily inspired by Frescobaldi and a bit by Denemo. Source: 6 months ago

Also, there's Frescobaldi, which is essentially an IDE for LilyPond: https://frescobaldi.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

Lilypond with the Frescobaldi front end is one open source solution. Source: almost 2 years ago

I'd argue Lilypond has the best of both worlds since it's free and very powerful with minimal tweaking, but it uses text-based input that might not be for everyone. I recommend using Frescobaldi if you do want to give Lilypond a shot, but there's certainly a learning curve. Source: almost 2 years ago

If anyone wants to try to learn it in the future, I recommend checking out Frescobaldi, a text editor made specifically for Lilypond. It has a "score wizard" feature that will help you set up your score and instruments without having to enter everything manually, a live preview so you don't have to manually compile your score every time, and a lot of other nice features.

It is really cool and useful. Interesting that you were able to gather enough data from users to make it work. I guess it was much less useful in the beginning? I thought of making something similar with data from https://musicbrainz.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

What do you use to tag your music? I imagine if you use a consistent piece of software (mp3tag, musicbrainz picard), they're going to do it the same way. Or for example, maybe musicbrainz.org allows people to enter metadata in their database in UTF-8, so it's possible you might get different answers from there even though you're using a standard piece of software. I imagine something like picard could use a search... Source: 5 months ago

The MusicBrainz database usually has hq versions of most covers. Source: 10 months ago

When it comes to MusicBrainzPicard, it pulls data directly from https://musicbrainz.org/. If you are finding music you have that isn't listed in the database, you could help out by contributing to the database so that everyone gets access to that music. Source: 10 months ago

While this doesn't help with replacing the discussion you get on reddit, might I suggest people spend some time contributing to their favourite artists on https://musicbrainz.org/ ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musicbrainz )? Many services & apps use MusicBrainz data, so you could help your favourites by making sure the information for their entries on MusicBrainz is as complete and accurate as possible!
