The app uses the same codebase as Plexamp, making both applications behave mostly similar on a visual level. You can view all playbacks across multiple servers from your phone, and it's possible to edit artworks and metadata without ever touching a keyboard and mouse. The app gives you all of the features available on the web service. Plex created Dash to make managing your files easier. For a deep dive into all the considerations that went into creating the app, check out Plex' Medium post. Other than a Tidal integration, you also have access to a discovery radio, custom mixes, stations, and downloads - it feels pretty much like a streaming service of its own. It lets you explore your historic top charts, like what you were listening to in Fall 2019 or what music from the 60s you like the most. The player has a SoundCloud-esque seek bar and blurred backgrounds, with colors extracted from the album art. Being an audio app, Plexamp comes with the OPUS codec that ensures high quality at low bitrates and caches songs for instantaneous playback. ![]()

![]() Dredging is, first and foremost, an engineering technique employed for beach erosion control Dredging with barges uses the power of the barge to drag or pull ocean-bound barges filled with sand from offshore locations to beaches or along the coastline as needed for nourishment projects.The most common sand nourishment methods are dredging, beach dune restoration, and sand pumping. The sand is typically allowed to settle for a few weeks, and then it is smoothed and leveled.The sand, stones and shells are then spread along the coastline using bulldozers and rakes.Sand, stones, and shells are then usually pumped from offshore to the shoreline in a process known as bulkheading or pumping.The beach is first cleared of loose sediment.Here are few steps on How is beach nourishment done: Beach nourishment helps to restore balance to coastal ecosystems, which are in turn beneficial to the environment at large.Beach nourishment is advantageous to a wide variety of people, not only coastal residents but also visitors, people on vacation, and other beach-goers.Beach nourishment increases the durability of the protection systems.Beach nourishment is not harmful to the environment, but it does require extensive planning and coordination with local ecologists and government agencies that might be affected by the project.Beach nourishment is an inexpensive way to rebuild a beach and prevent beach erosion.Nourishment of beach sands mitigates longshore drift, a natural process that can result in the loss of sand from beaches.It might happen as a result of a variety of risks, such as a flood, a wildfire, or a drought. This could include the movement of a person, infrastructure (such as a building or a road), or a community. Managed retreat entails the deliberate, coordinated evacuation of people and buildings away from potential hazards. These structures, however, may be detrimental to the surrounding environment and in some cases may not effectively reduce shoreline erosion. Hard engineering typically involves the construction of seawalls, breakwaters, groynes, or revetments (i.e., structures that slow wave action). Soft engineering relies on natural processes and materials that are readily available and easily installed by manual labor or small construction equipment and is, therefore, more cost-effective in most situations. Soft engineering methods generally refer to natural shoreline protection approaches such as beach nourishment and sand dune restoration. Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.Coastal engineering for coastline protection entails the following: 1. change in policy from trying to defend coastal property to removing structures and allowing nature and the sea to reclaim coastal areas. Costly as sediment must be dredge from offshore or from harbors etc, transported to the beach and distributed. ![]() beach replenishment Sediment is added to the beach to replace what was lost. alternatives to hard stabilization construction restrictions, beach replenishment, and relocation construction restrictions stop construction in areas prone to erosion. To restore the situation, people must input in as much energy as they have misdirected through the modification - e.g. Human modifications of the shore can lead to large changes in sediment movement. May also lead to modification of sediment movement along the shore. breakwaters hard stabilization built parallel to the shoreline. Groins and groin fields change the distribution of sand on a beach, but do not retain more sand have the same effect as groins, as also structures built perpendicular to the shore jetties jetties may cause pronounced upstream deposition and downstream erosion. Eventually a groin field results as groins are built all along the beach. This can lead to the construction of another groin to protect downstream portion of the beach. ![]() Although a groin will trap sand on its upstream side, there will be a faster rate of erosion on the downstream side as this area will not be re-supplied with sand. Often built from rip-rap, large blocks of material. groin walls built perpendicular to the beach to trap sand and prevent it moving along the shore by longshore drift. Hard stabilization structures built to protect a coast from erosion or prevent the movement of sand along a beach Seawalls built parallel to the coast, not a good long term solution, and erodes recreational beaches. ways to protect the shore from erosion hard stabilization, seawalls, groin, jetties, and breakwaters.

The basic structure can be like the Printer Application framework but here we do not want to create the (deprecated) PPD files but instead, let the IPP server link directly with the library and serve out the printer capability information on client's get-printer-attributes requests. ![]() The Gutenprint printer application should wrap the Gutenprint library and so support all the printers the library supports. The new mode of using this library should be a new Printer Application which will be the student´s task to create. It should be rather easy to add more ways of using the core driver functionality, as this functionality is in a library, all capability information of the supported printers, dithering and color correction algorithms, … It is popular under users of both Linux and Mac OS X.Ĭurrently, it supports printing either the classic CUPS way, by a PPD generator and a filter or by a plug-in for the GIMP. Gutenprint is a printer driver for high-quality inkjet printing which is under continuous development for many years already and supports hundreds of printers. ![]() ![]() ![]() Our last workshop in Feb this year was given at the Royal Academy of Music in London.Ĭurrently MuseScore focuses on contemporary notation system. Occasionally, we go out and promote MuseScore at music conservatories and we give workshops. It’s one of the reason why MuseScore on Windows is delivered as a MSI, to ease this deployment. School network admins reach out to us to get help deploying MuseScore on Windows network. Many schools are using MuseScore and we mostly learn about this fact via a student’s tweet or support request in the MuseScore forum. Nicolas: We interact with educators and institutes via the same channels as with use with our users, that is email and via the MuseScore forum. How much and in what ways do you interact with educational institutions today? So far nobody took this challenge on to make it reality. The idea of a kickstarter to create samples and soundfont has been raised several times. Some developers have show interest on working on VSTi support, but so far no work started, and the license status of such an implementation, VST being a proprietary standard, is still unclear. We hope to be able to improve the internal synthesizers and to offer an even better connection to JACK for more demanding users. ![]() Any playback improvement shouldn’t go in the way of easily creating beautiful sheet music. We would love to work on a better playback in future versions, but we need to keep in mind that MuseScore is first and foremost about notating music. For piano scores, it gives a very good result. The SFZ sampler, Zerberus, has been implemented with the Salamander Piano soundfont in mind. For those used to the old soundfont, the quality will increase dramatically already in 2.0. Nicolas: MuseScore 2.0 comes with a new soundfont, derived from FluidR3GM, which was the default on Ubuntu, but not in most other distributions and on Mac and Windows. Should we expect you to continue improving built-in playback with regards to output quality? Maybe do a kickstarter to create a really high-quality soundfont with instruments recorded all in one place by the same engineer (that is, unlike the Sonatina SFZ frankensamples)? For the older sampler, you are still shipping an SF2 soundfont that is better, but still somewhat simplistic. One notable change in 2.0 is Zerberus - a new built-in SFZ sampler. When a decision is made and implemented, we use visual tests to make sure there are no regressions. Of course, music notation is far from an exact science even with a reference book, and sometimes we needed some discussion to find a compromise. The book helped us a lot to make things right. It happened repeatedly to Marc Sabatella during the development period of MuseScore, and so he worked on handling second intervals in multivoice context, stacking accidentals, beam groups etc.ĭuring the last development cycle, Elaine Gould published the “Behind Bars” book which is now recognized as a reference for music notation. Something looks wrong or broken, and a developer thinks he can fix it, so he scratches his own itch. Nicolas: The approach is the same than for any other open source software. What’s your approach to working on this? Do you mostly rely on input from users or do you run various continuous comparative tests? However, things seem to have improved with 2.0. ![]() MuseScore used to be criticized for score output quality. MuseScore’s goal remains to provide an affordable, easy to use music notation software which creates beautiful sheet music. MuseScore also provides some other features that they do not provide ( import of several formats for example). Nicolas: In term of features, we believe MuseScore covers the vast majority of the engraving features of the two software packages you mention, and these features are probably the most used ones. Where would you position MuseScore today? Back then, the app was often compared to Finale Notepad. My impression from our past conversation several years ago was that you didn’t intend to push MuseScore to take on Sibelius or Finale. Currently MuseScore will relayout the full score for any edit, we could optimize this. If I would have to pick a single one, it would be layout speed. But of course, being perfectionists, we do think there is still room for improvements. The core of MuseScore, a single code base, is running on the 5 major OSes of the moment. Nicolas: We are very happy with the outcome. Thomas Bonte and Nicolas Froment kindly replied all the questions.Īfter this much rewriting MuseScore, are you happy with the outcome, or do you still see some flaws in how MuseScore works internally and/or with regards to UI? A week ago, LGW already interviewed some of the MuseScore developers, when Open Well-Tempered Clavier project was released, but there is just so much to discuss when it comes to the score editor. ![]() ![]() However, ATC communication only scratches the surface of the benefits flying with virtual controllers lets you sim the way you would fly. Interacting with a simulated control tower unlocks incredible tools for building radio proficiency and confidence. Although flight simulators typically have built-in, artificial air traffic control, most experienced flight simmers use third-party products to fly with live, human, air traffic controllers and communicate via two-way audio streams. Whether for proficiency, familiarization with advanced avionics, or even to add time to the logbook, the ability to 'fly before you fly' has revolutionized flight training. Home flight simulation is widely considered an essential flight training aid for student pilots and pilots.

If it’s still sticking, repeat the steps above until the problem is fixed. Finally, test the caliper by pressing on the brake pedal.This process will remove any air from the braking system and allow the caliper to move freely. Once the piston is free, press it back into the caliper until it’s flush with the surface.This can be done by gently pushing on the piston with a flathead screwdriver or another tool. If it’s stuck in the extended position, you’ll need to free it up before continuing. Next, take a look at the caliper piston. ![]() If something is blocking the caliper from moving freely, remove it.
