ScoreDraft is a music/singing synthesizer that provides a Python based score authoring interface.

Historically, there have been changes in the design goal of ScoreDraft. The software was originally intendend to be used for music experiments such as just intonation. For the initial design, I was intending to use text files as the means of authoring, i.e., the C++ program reads a text file, parse the notes and generates an audio file. However, after using Python as a script layer, it has shown very much benefit comparing to text parsing. So I moved quickly to Python.

I became interested in extending ScoreDraft for singing synthesis, simliar to Vocaloid and UTAU, but using script. Since then singing synthesis has become the focus of development. In the first stage, I implemented a simple voice synthesizing engine that generates a voice note by note from individual voice samples. This engine is called "KeLa", named after the famous video on Bilibili. In the second stage, I built a new engine makes use of voice-banks made for UTAU, including CVVC and VCV voice-banks. The new engine is called "UtauDraft". The name only indicates the intension to be compatible with UTAU voice banks.

I'm not sure where ScoreDraft will go in the furture. From here I'm building a big set of utilities to allow different kinds all waveforms to be generated and mixed together through scripts.

The following example shows how easily a piece of musical sound can be generated using ScoreDraft.

	import ScoreDraft
	from ScoreDraft.Notes import *
	
	doc=ScoreDraft.Document()
	
	seq=[do(),do(),so(),so(),la(),la(),so(5,96)]
	
	doc.playNoteSeq(seq, ScoreDraft.Piano())
	doc.mixDown('twinkle.wav')

I'm intending to make all my source-code contribution to GitHub totally free to use.

ScoreDraft is now formally available under MIT license.

First please check:

/python_test 

directory.

The above directory contains the whole Python layer of ScoreDraft. Since the core functions are implemented in C++, I also pre-deployed binaries built for Windows x64 and Linux Amd64 in that directory, so users of these systems can have a really quick evaluation without building ScoreDraft from source code.

These files are being dynamically updated as the development progresses. In that way I think there will be no need to make any formal releases. Audio sample files will be kept at small scale here. Users can extend that part themselves.

To build ScoreDraft from source-code, you need to install:

• CMake 3.0+
• Python3
• Qt5 (Needed by "QtPCMPlayer“ and "Meteor" extensions. You can remove them from /CMakeLists.txt if you don't need them. Then you don't need Qt5)
• CUDA (Optionally needed by UtauDraft, can be disabled by setting "USE_CUDA" to false in /UtauDraft/CMakeLists.txt)

Run CMake to generate makefiles/project files for your system and build. You are recommanded to:

• use the /build directory as you building directory
• use /python_test as your CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
