Re: How to replace the windows `beep` sound
Just in case its of interest to anyone this LC works for me in generating a Lilypond score on generateLilyPond -- Lilypond is case sensitive put toLower(gKey) into gKey set the hideConsoleWindows to true -- this is the basic syntax for Lilypond to generate a score put "\version" && quote & "2.24.2" ...

Re: How to replace the windows `beep` sound
Hi Klaus,
it was the first one that did the trick.
Regards,
Glenn
it was the first one that did the trick.
Code: Select all
...
## "launch document..." WITHOUT "file:..."!
launch document ("C:\Users\Glenn\OneDrive\Documents\LiveCode\" & tName & "test.mid")
if the result <> EMPTY then
answer the result
end if

Re: How to replace the windows `beep` sound
Klaus,
Bingo! Your code has worked, LC now triggers the playing of the midi file! - thank you so much!
(I`d be embarrassed to disclose how many hours I`ve spent trying to get this to work previously!)
Best regards and Happy New Year.
Glenn

Re: How to replace the windows `beep` sound
LC just seems to ignore the commands, ie no error messages etc, it just continues with the rest of the code as if the calls to the mid files were not there...! have tried the following permutations: launch document "File:C:\Users\Glenn\OneDrive\Documents\LiveCode\" & tName & "test.mid" launch docume...

Re: How to replace the windows `beep` sound
Thanks Klaus, sadly no luck with either of those... but thank you for the suggestions.
I guess I`ll just have to live with the few extra clicks to play the mid file from file explorer!

Glenn

Re: How to replace the windows `beep` sound
My work around so far is for LC to open fileexplorer so I can then double click on the mid file to play it... launch url "File:C:\Users\Glenn\OneDrive\Documents\LiveCode\" Its all of one or two extra clicks but I thought it would be much neater if I could open the mid file using LC! Regards, Glenn

Re: How to replace the windows `beep` sound
Thanks Klaus, I think what`s confusing me is that if I double click on the mid file in windows filexplorer, the mid file will open and play with the native windows medial player. I`ve tried some midi opensource apps, eg fluidsynth but I can`t get these to work when I call them in LC - I think its be...

Using LC to generate music
Hi everyone, almost a year later, and have now found a solution to the issue of LC generating music.... Lilypond! https://lilypond.org/ the midi file that Lilypond produces (via a LC script) sounds quite reasonable, and (I think) can be customised in code to most instruments. Lilypond generates a pd...

Re: How to replace the windows `beep` sound
Thanks everyone, have tried fiddling around with the windows sound settings and seem to have replaced the default beep with a piano.wav file - however LC seems to still want to just play the 'beep' sound.... I`ll keep on trying..... (Stam, thanks also for the tip re the Piano widget - this looks int...

Re: How to replace the windows `beep` sound
I`m tempted... but....!
Have tried almost everything I can find to adjust on the control panel, and also checked online for answers as well, but no success so far...

How to replace the windows `beep` sound
Hi Everyone, I`m conscious that I`ve not been on the forum for quite some time but am still regularly livecoding, not quite on a daily basis, but almost! My daughter is now also starting to learn LC, and has got herself a subscription! A new project I`m interested in is seeing how far I can take liv...

Re: Where are the newbies?
As has been previously mentioned it seems that LC is unlikely to disrupt/displace the established `professional` languages and therefore time/treasure should be diverted to areas where there might be better benefit/cost ratios. re user base I think to increase LC`s visibility, and therefore its pote...
