WHY YOU SHOULD BUY MY PRODUCTS

(0)
WHY YOU SHOULD BUY MY PRODUCTS: I am thrilled and honored to be a TES author. My storys and programs have been viewed and downloaded around the world; especially there in the UK. While it is interesting to see the map light up with all those hits, I must mention why you should occasionally buy my products especially if your circumstances permit. THE BIBLE SAYS: Timothy 5:15 For the scripture saith, thou shalt not muzzle the ox that tread out the corn. And, the labourer is worthy of his reward. Leviticus 19:13 Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbor, neither rob him, the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning. Deuteronomy 24:15 At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it, for he is poor , and setteth his heart upon it; lest he cry against thee unto the Lord, and it be sin unto thee. COMMENTARY: This seem perfectly right and reasonable to me. I enjoy writing and presenting my work to you. I do not want barriers against it getting to you, especially you poor. However; you should occasionally buy a product. I will put some in the pay for status to give you the opportunity to exercise your responsibilities and feel good about yourselves. My music score writing program especially. It is still possible for a determined amateur to write something of value. (Thank you Russel). I am working hard and I have a 40 year experience with programming. Some of my stuff is good. Look at it.

THE CELL PROBLEM WHY WE ARE MADE OUT OF CELLS

(0)
The cell is the individual unit of life. It evolved over long ages and is pretty good. It has many fantastic tricks. It can even reproduce by splitting in two! However, there is a problem. Cells work better if small. This is because if small, oxygen and other substances can come in and out easier being right near the cell boarder. Cells evolve toward higher function. Some have tails to swim, mouth like parts, eye spots. But..they must contend with the basic fact.. cells work better if small. So how can bigger, higher functioning animals be made? The solution is to have an animal made of cells working together. This has many advantages: Cells can specialize. New animals can be made with a rearraigement of cells following similar plans. Cells can die and be replaced without much disruption to the whole animal. So, we are to made of a union of cells. We must understand ourselves as a collection of cells which have mostly given up their independance for a better existance in a place created by their collective efforts!

WRITING A PROGRAM TO SCAN MUSICAL SCORES

WRITING A PROGRAM TO SCAN MUSICAL SCORES

(0)
WRITING A MUSIC SCANNING PROGRAM: A while back, I laboriously had my computer play music I got by finding the notes on sheet music. It would be nice to have a computer do this automatically. What it would have to do: The computer would have to find which note is written and how many beats it has. A COMPLETELY AUTOMATIC SCAN: The computer can scan an image and report changes of color for each dot it is made of. In this way, the computer can see. I tried this and started having problems. The computer can scan up and down and when it hits a big object it can report. An continuous object can be collected. Different notes have different numbers of dots so it is possble to tell which note it is. There are a few big problems with this. Pictures of scores can be of different sizes and qualities. A blurry image messes this up. Sloppy score lines messes this up. While I had some success and it was cool seeting the red scan line go across, it was not usable with new scores although I looked for solutions. A COMPUTER ASSISTED SCAN: Parts of the scan which are alsost impossible are easy with some help by the human user. You can tell it the first score line andthe last score line, where the notes are and what beat they have. THE MANUAL SCAN TASK: When I wrote down notes for the computer to play, I followed these steps: 1. I wrote down the note name, using the FACE EGBDF line names. 2. I then wrote the number of the piano key, using 37 as middle C. The simple songs I was dealing, amazingly used the same twelve note range. 3. I then put a number signifying the time each note would be held. This list of numbers was put into the program, where it could be read to play the song. THE COMPUTER SCAN TASK: 1. The computer must know where the staff line and spaces are. 2. The computer must know where the notes are on the staff. 3. The computer must know how long to hold the notes. THE HUMAN COMPUTER PARTNERSHIP: You must let the computer know where the staff lines are. You can click with the mouse the top line and then the bottom line,; then the computer can figure out were the lines and spaces are. You then point with the mouse at a note Andthe computer says which note it is. The computer shows the note aND WHEN IT IS CORRECT, YOU ACCEPT IT WITH A CLICK. The time is mostlt quarter notes, so if you move to the next note without a choice, it is a quarter note. You can specify other choices with leter presses. Each new line must be told to the computer. When done you save the data for playback. The Page of the score can be enlarged a nd moved right to help; a bigger score works better.
