Count-in beats
Opened this issue · 5 comments
Create frames displaying beat before music to count in with via something that creates number of frames ((60/tempo) * fps) for each beat desired.
Working on this, but I don't know any python. Trying to use the generateTitle block as a template for generateBeat. I stripped things down and was hoping this would run, but alas, it does not. Still working on it.

A hack of generate title to create beat 1 image.

again, hacking the title font. my best though is to have ly2video pull the time signature to figure out how many beats to have. It would have to be able to recognize compound meters. It would also be good to have a manual override to multiple measures of count-in, as two beats for 2/2, 2/4, 6/8, etc would not be enough.
I think I'm just going to get this working for 4/4 for myself and manually edit the file when I need more/ less beats. If someone could figure out how to cycle this process, inserting the appropriate beat into "beat" variable each time, it should do the trick.

os.mkdir("beats")
totalFrames = int(round((60.000/100.000) * fps))
progress("Beats: ly2video will generate approx. %d frames for each beat." % totalFrames)
#this variable needs to increase with each cycle of the process.
beat = 1
# font for beat 1, args - font type, size
nameFont = ImageFont.truetype(ttfFile, height / 15)
# args - position of left upper corner of rectangle (around text), text, font and color (black)
drawer.text(((width - nameFont.getsize(beat)[0]) / 2,
(height - nameFont.getsize(beat)[1]) / 2 - height / 25),

might be nice to have an option to make the last beat a different color as well (might be more hassle than its worth)
This does the trick for generating the screens; now I need to create a call for it in the main function and cat it together. For now, I think I'll try to make some command line options rather than figure out how to pull data from the .ly file.
