comment How can I force LilyPond to repeat a chord symbol (relates to alternate endings)?
Works if noting all chords is acceptable.

comment Drum machine with an API (Ruby would be awesome!)
While this link may answer the question, it is better to include the essential parts of the answer here and provide the link for reference. Link-only answers can become invalid if the linked page changes.

comment quality focused music file de duplication software?
Probably not a good fit for here, c.f. the FAQ; Since this is software focused, maybe Superuser might be a better place to ask.

comment What is the reason for pitch inflation?
I suspect that History of Performing Pitch: The Story of "A" by Bruce Haynes discusses this.

jTab (for producing guitar tab diagrams) processes indented code blocks on this site.

Prematurely deleted comment: this needs a [lilypond] tag.

comment Finding the “Starting point” when creating a composition or score
This question could be more focused by specifying a musical genre for the composition.

comment Is a violin's shape (particularly the f-holes) necessary or is it just for aesthetics?
I don't understand your first sentence: having large changes in sound from small changes in appearance would lead me to think that large changes in appearance would lead to even larger changes in sound; making radically different desgins sound un-violin-like.

comment What is the difference between a collection of sounds and music?
Not all organized sound is music. Normal talking is organized in many dimensions, but not music.

comment Effectively using singing games for vocal training
I believe that this is different from this similar question in that the answer, will (hopefully) focus on how to make the best use of these games.

comment Which electric guitar strings have the least (pitch) bend
So if your scale length is about 3/4 that of a standard guitar, the pitches would go up by a perfect fourth if everything else were held constant.

comment Which electric guitar strings have the least (pitch) bend
The equation is on the linked site, but hard to read. f=0.5*sqrt(T/rho)/L (T=tension, rho is the mass density of the string, per unit length, L is length).

comment Which electric guitar strings have the least (pitch) bend
Comment on "slightly heavier gauges": The relevant conversion factor is (25.5/22.5)**2 for string tension, i.e. find strings whose tension is approx. 1.25x greater than what you ultimately want on your short scale guitar.

comment Does this guitar tuning have a name?
I've heard "all fourths" for this type of tuning.

comment Silly idea: automatic screamo converter
You probably got a downvote for this being an open-ended, chatty question. If you formulated it more along the lines of, "what audio processing techniques can be used to isolate and modify the vocals of a recording" and then mention that your focus is on making screamo versions of songs in the body.

The book: The Harmonic Experience by W. A. Matthieu may be useful for answering your questions.

Note: I fully expect the answer to be a range, i.e. anything from X to Y.
