unroll 0.1.0

Unroll is a Python module to ease transcription of piano rolls to sheet music. It transcribes either a MIDI file or a video of a piano roll. It finds the notes, the tempo, roughly separates the hands, and writes the result in a Lilypond file. In particular

You can use it like this:

# TO TRANSCRIBE FROM A VIDEO

from unroll import video2scan, rollscan2keystrikes
focus = lambda im : im[[156],58:478]
scan = video2scan(videofile = "limehouse_nights.mp4", focus = focus)
keystrikes = rollscan2keystrikes(scan)
keystrikes = ks.transposed(26)
keystrikes.transcribe('score.ly', quarter_durations = [2,10,0.02])

# TO TRANSCRIBE FROM A MIDI FILE

from unroll import midi2keystrikes
keystrikes = midi2keystrikes('tiger_rag.mid')
ks.transcribe('score.ly', quarter_durations = [50,100,0.02])

Then you must edit score.ly to correct the mistakes and when you are done you compile it with

lilypond score.ly

(sudo) python setup.py install

(sudo) pip unroll install
