Thank you Rainer for your quick response!
with help of your script I found my error to be the lack of the last parameter("cts") - confusingly the rythm search returned matches anyway.
Now the query result seems convincing and I can continue working. Will keep you informed when the app is done.

Greetings, -dfb

Search should work, nothing has changed lately. I am going to test it, and also to post a sample client script. Apparently, this has been missing so far...

Here's the promised sample client:

CODE:

<?php
$client = new SoapClient('http://www.musipedia.org/soap/?wsdl');
  $q1 = "Musipedia"; $q2 = " RURURDDRDRD "; $q3 = ""; $pitch = ""; $rhythm = ""; $maxentries = 100; $offs = 0; $cts = "CP";
  $result = $client->search('MY_USERID', md5("MY_PASSWORD$q1$q2$q3"), $q1, $q2, $q3, $pitch, $rhythm, $maxentries, $offs, $cts);
 print_r($result);
?>

This searches the Classical and Popular categories ($cts = "CP") for the given contour. If you don't want a category restriction, pass an empty string instead.

The space characters you see around the contour above are a artifact from this forum.

Important: MY_USERID and MY_PASSWORD should be your Musipedia user ID and password.

Before trying something complex with Android, could you maybe check if this client works for you? (with your own user id and password, of course).

Best,

Rainer

Subject: music contour search via SOAP returns no hits

I'm currently writing an android app for searching the musipedia database (for starters, parsons code only).
Unfortunately, I get an empty result when searching for music contours as specified in the wsdl document, even when using the parson code sample specified in the very document.
Search by rythm produces viable results, however.

Has the query format for parsons code on musipedia changed from the wsdl document (http://www.musipedia.org/soap/index.php?wsdl)?
Is parsons code currently supported via SOAP?

Best regards, dfb

You must login to post a message to this conference.

Add a bit of sheet music, along with a MIDI file, simply by entering note names in Lilypond syntax between the [L] and [/L] tags.
For example, you can try what happens if you enter: [l]g'4 g'4 d''4 d''4 e''4 e''4 d''2[/l] (use the Preview function if you don't actually want to post this).
You can create these lists of note names by clicking on piano keys here.

If you just want to sing, whistle, or play a melody so that other forum visitors can hear it, follow these steps:

1. Record your audio here.
2. You should notice a 32-character hash code, something like: 2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf
3. copy this hash code and paste it into a forum post, enclosed in the audio tags, for example: [audio]2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf[/audio]

If the original question in a thread is solved, please mark it as solved using the "solved" icon (or by just typing [solved] into your post). This makes life easier for people who are willing to identify melodies, since unsolved problems are easier to spot that way. If a problem turns out to not be solved after all, just write [/solved] in a new post, and the thread will be labeled accordingly.
