[clam-devel] Important Question regarding CLAM

[Lee Savide]

Well, I'll still keep my hopes up; if I've learned anything about open
source technology, its that while how you skin the cat is debatable,
learning from the ways of other's methods is a blessing and a necessity
towards doing it in the best way possible. Perhaps CLAM can still make use
of the algorithms and functions used in music21, even if not directly. I'm
not saying to cut paste code, since that's the death of intellect in
practice; I'm asking if music21 is something to consider observing for ways
to improve CLAM. I'm not very good at C++ code (yet), to be honest, but
Python I'm very familiar with, and I'm very thankful you took the time to
answer my questions. I'd like this topic to be open for more debate, though.
It's very uncommon for music analysis software to exist and be as in-depth
as this, or music21, and sadly those are the only 2 open source libraries
for music analysis I personally know of. It's very frustrating, but seeing
this is like a breath of fresh air.
