Happy First Birthday Clairnote!

2014-12-07 — By Paul Morris — Untagged

One year ago today Clairnote music notation was introduced to the world. Looking back it’s been quite a productive first year (thanks in part to building on previous work with TwinNote music notation). Take a moment to savor some of the highlights as they were chronicled in the Clairnote blog.

180 Fiddle Tunes in Clairnote
Clairnote Sheet Music Library offering 300 works in Clairnote
Numerous improvements to the Clairnote code for LilyPond (e.g. Clairnote staves by default, per-staff values, improved repeat signs, clefs, etc.)

There has even been a refresh of the website’s design a couple months ago that I haven’t had the time to blog about yet (stay tuned).

Happy Birthday Clairnote, here’s to many more good years ahead…

Incidentally, I just noticed that a birthday of 12/7 is particularly appropriate (for a notation system with a chromatic staff that represents twelve notes per octave instead of the traditional seven). Thanks to http://chris.com/ascii/ for the cake.
