Flippy Qualitative Testbench

Score-follower qualitative testbench.

Displays the timestamp output by a score-follower as a cursor on the score.

Installation

Pre-built installers for Mac, Windows and Linux are available in Releases.

If you wish to build (and package) this app yourself, see the Building and Packaging sections below.

Usage Guide

Requirements

• Score in MusicXML format.
• Score-follower capable of outputting score timestamps (both integers or floats are OK) via UDP packets.
  • See src/test/mockfollower/mockfollower.py for a mock follower in Python fulfilling this requirement.
  • See https://github.com/flippy-fyp/flippy for a score-follower supporting this application.

Usage

• Click the blue "Open MusicXML File" button to load your MusicXML score.

• Specify the port number that your score-follower will send timestamp packets; then, press "Start".

• Make sure your score-follower outputs timestamps to the right address and port number, then run the score-follower.

  • As an example, python src/test/mockfollower/mockfollower.py outputs timestamps to 127.0.0.1:60000 (localhost:60000).
