        We were all collectively burt as children by ES>

      • ruaok
        burt by ES as children.
      • 2016-03-21 08157, 2016

      • ruaok
        or something like that.

      • weeksio
        hehe
      • 2016-03-21 08110, 2016

      • weeksio
        nope I want to see the solr thing through
      • 2016-03-21 08124, 2016

      • weeksio
        but I had something else in mind officially
      • 2016-03-21 08128, 2016

      • CJ_
        weeksio, Ah. I misunderstood.
      • 2016-03-21 08137, 2016

      • ruaok
        not sure you'll have time for two projects.
      • 2016-03-21 08141, 2016

      • CJ_
        When you have some time can you PM me so we can discuss solr?
      • 2016-03-21 08157, 2016

      • weeksio
        sure...not today though...medterm in a few hours
      • 2016-03-21 08100, 2016

      • weeksio
        midterm
      • 2016-03-21 08103, 2016

      • ruaok would love to see some forward progress on the SOLR project.
      • 2016-03-21 08125, 2016

      • ruaok
        weeksio: as long as the SOLR project moves forward...
      • 2016-03-21 08135, 2016

      • weeksio
        cool
      • 2016-03-21 08142, 2016

      • ruaok
        weeksio: what did you have in mind? Mind you that we're unlikely to accept a project in java.
      • 2016-03-21 08157, 2016

      • ruaok
        we're only accepting java because of SOLR/Lucene.
      • 2016-03-21 08118, 2016

      • weeksio
        there's a possibility of me getting a uni position that would let me work on MB stuff as part of the job (still, merely a possibility....it's been floated)
      • 2016-03-21 08152, 2016

      • ruaok
        thats promising. :)

      • 2016-03-21 08135, 2016

      • weeksio
        I'm interested in working on the "works" entity...
      • 2016-03-21 08118, 2016

      • weeksio
        Possibly working on a way to include musical incipits...like a thematic catalog
      • 2016-03-21 08135, 2016

      • weeksio
        language doesn't matter...

      • ruaok
        eww. :)
      • 2016-03-21 08126, 2016

      • ruaok
        well, if you are thinking of doing something, make sure to get your proposal going asap. not much time left.
      • 2016-03-21 08132, 2016

      • weeksio
        I know
      • 2016-03-21 08139, 2016

      • weeksio
        sure....there's always solr....
      • 2016-03-21 08144, 2016

      • ruaok
        lol
      • 2016-03-21 08101, 2016

      • ruaok
        you know I'd accept that project in a heartbeat.
      • 2016-03-21 08115, 2016

      • ruaok
        we could do the same thing I did with gentlecat. part coding part deployment.
      • 2016-03-21 08116, 2016

      • weeksio
        hehe
      • 2016-03-21 08117, 2016

      • weeksio
        I'll start working on the proposal tonight after this midterm....I have this idea of parsing musicxml data into a normalized (for key/tempo) into binary vectors for possible QBH...thought crowd sourcing (using "crowd" loosely) incipits in musicxml would be a good start....could move on to monophonic musical strings (related to works) down the road...
      • 2016-03-21 08135, 2016

      • weeksio
        thinking of MB as a musical reference tool
      • 2016-03-21 08143, 2016

      • weeksio
        (which it already is of course)
      • 2016-03-21 08145, 2016

      • weeksio
        but maybe gaining some cred with the likes of MLA (https://www.musiclibraryassoc.org/)

      • 2016-03-21 08101, 2016

      • reosarevok
        weeksio: one issue I could see with that is that our current works often represent a slightly generic thing
      • 2016-03-21 08131, 2016

      • reosarevok
        (especially for non-classical works, where a black metal cover is linked to the same work as the original pop song)
      • 2016-03-21 08152, 2016

      • weeksio
        shouldn't it be, though
      • 2016-03-21 08121, 2016

      • CallerNo6 joined the channel
      • 2016-03-21 08125, 2016

      • reosarevok
        Yeah, I just mean that the notes played could vary in the cover and that might be weird for an incipit displaying notes
      • 2016-03-21 08137, 2016

      • reosarevok
        But maybe you don't mean score-style incipits :)
      • 2016-03-21 08140, 2016

      • weeksio
        it's like an arranged work....or an instance of a work
      • 2016-03-21 08101, 2016

      • weeksio
        that's exactly what I mean
      • 2016-03-21 08110, 2016

      • weeksio
        but the work is it's own thing
      • 2016-03-21 08127, 2016

      • reosarevok
        I guess :)
      • 2016-03-21 08135, 2016

      • weeksio
        it exists outside of a specific performance
      • 2016-03-21 08136, 2016

      • reosarevok
        We do have separate works for arrangements now in classical
      • 2016-03-21 08147, 2016

      • reosarevok
        (at least for written-down, published arrangements)
      • 2016-03-21 08123, 2016

      • reosarevok
        I'd slightly prefer a "one work, many arrangements" system but that'd require yet another level for "arrangement" and people are usually confused enough by track - recording - work :p
      • 2016-03-21 08128, 2016

      • reosarevok
        (plus a good UI for that sounds hard)
      • 2016-03-21 08140, 2016

      • reosarevok
        I still think it'd work with a good UI, but...
      • 2016-03-21 08107, 2016

      • weeksio
        in library subject heading terms, you would have <composer> -> <work> -> and then...
      • 2016-03-21 08148, 2016

      • weeksio
        we tag on an "arranged" subheading
      • 2016-03-21 08100, 2016

      • reosarevok
        Yeah, I've seen some libraries do that :)
      • 2016-03-21 08124, 2016

      • weeksio
        then you would have albums that "contain a work"
      • 2016-03-21 08127, 2016

      • reosarevok
        Anyway, anything that makes MB more useful to libraries (and brings more classical cataloguing people to help me :p) is good

        If my uni thing pans out, I'd like to incorporate MB data into our catalog...
      • 2016-03-21 08122, 2016

      • reosarevok
        But for example, we have http://musicbrainz.org/work/91851de6-c168-3707-8b… as a work
      • 2016-03-21 08137, 2016

        ruaok: we need some machines to do some high level computation on for this paper
      • 2016-03-21 08105, 2016

      • reosarevok
        While I imagine a library would have it as " Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67 (arr. for piano)" linked to the main work somehow?

      • 2016-03-21 08140, 2016

      • reosarevok
        But honestly, anything that is "improve classical music handling in MB" is likely to get a +1 from me, even if it only affects me marginally at first :)
      • 2016-03-21 08124, 2016

      • weeksio
        I'd be happy to carry the classical music torch for MB :P
      • 2016-03-21 08156, 2016

      • reosarevok
        Have you tried to edit classical music in MB?
      • 2016-03-21 08107, 2016

      • reosarevok
        (it's gotten a bit better but it's still kinda weird :p)
      • 2016-03-21 08154, 2016

      • weeksio
        (embarrassingly no)
      • 2016-03-21 08159, 2016

      • weeksio
        I need to try t out
      • 2016-03-21 08128, 2016

      • reosarevok
        Give it a go, note other things that you feel need improving, throw some of them into the proposal as "once I'm done with this" :p
      • 2016-03-21 08139, 2016

      • reosarevok
        https://beta.musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Classical are the relevant guidelines. Ask if you have any doubts :)
      • 2016-03-21 08155, 2016

      • weeksio
        sure
      • 2016-03-21 08144, 2016

      • reosarevok
        (one thing I'd look into for example, since you want to work with works anyway, are possible improvements to work display, both in the work's page and the composer's)
      • 2016-03-21 08152, 2016

      • reosarevok
        For example, https://musicbrainz.org/artist/b972f589-fb0e-474e… would be much less terrible if the pagination would be less strict and the movements for the works would get collapsed under the main work for display
      • 2016-03-21 08118, 2016

      • weeksio
        I better run...but I'll check the logs later
      • 2016-03-21 08138, 2016

      • reosarevok
        Except we can't always do that without further thought, because it probably makes more sense to display Beethoven's op. 10 as three entries even if they have op. 10 as the parent work :p

      • 2016-03-21 08103, 2016

        ruaok, Unfortunately, solr has been stalled because I have not had the spare brain cycles to put against it.

        Mike_Aiir: There is also a wrapper script admin/cron/slave.sh that will write some log files and rotate them.

        I think it makes a file ... cron.log? or something like that? in either the musicbrainz user's home directory or the top-level musicbrainz-server directory
