Flacopyus is a CLI tool that mirrors your lossless FLAC library to a portable Opus collection. It performs rsync-like batch mirroring with incremental encoding/copying to save time. It preserves metadata and is idempotent, so repeated runs safely keep the destination in sync.

ISSE ~ Interactive Source Separation Editor
In applications such as audio denoising, music transcription, music remixing, and audio-based forensics, it is desirable to decompose a single-channel recording into its respective sources. To perform such tasks, we present a new software tool to perform source separation by painting on time-frequency visualizations of sound. Initial results shows the software can achieve state-of-the-art separation results compared to prior work.
Features:
- Source separation
- Denoising
- Painting
- Interaction

Denemo ~ Freeware Music Notation
Denemo is a free music notation program for GNU/Linux, Mac OSX and Windows that lets you rapidly enter notation which it typesets using the LilyPond music engraver. Music can be typed in at the PC-Keyboard, played in via MIDI controller, or input acoustically into a microphone plugged into your computer’s soundcard.
Impro-Visor ~ Jazz Improvisation Adviser
Impro-Visor (short for “Improvisation Advisor”) is a music notation program designed to help jazz musicians compose and hear solos similar to ones that might be improvised. The objective is to improve understanding of solo construction and tune chord changes. There are other, secondary, things it can do, such as improvise on its own. It has also been used for transcription. Because rhythm-section (e.g. piano, bass, drums) accompaniment is automatically generated from chords, Impro-Visor can be used as a play-along device. Now having a wider array of accompaniment styles, its use is not limited to jazz.
