All gabc files under scores/gabc/ ?

[martindonat]

For a bigger chant book-project I would need a lot of gabc scores from Gregobase, so I don't want to download them manually. I know, it shouldn't be such a problem: Download this repo, set up a local MySQL server, run the correct php-script, etc

After some considerable amount of time and effort I have a local MariaDB server, I imported the scores, but now I have encoding problems and am fed up... Sorry, I'm just not so familiar with SQL servers, php and this stuff. So I wanted to ask for this little favour, whether you could provide all gabc files in a dir like scores/gabc/.

I guess for you it would be much easier than for me.

Thanks in advance.

Do you still need the scores?

[martindonat]

No, thanks. I did it the quick and dirty way: A python script which downloads file per file from the website. It looks like this:

def extract_filename(input_str, num):

	filename_pos = input_str.find("filename=")
	
	# "filename=" nicht gefunden
	if filename_pos == -1:
	
		print("Filename not found: {0}".format(num))
		return None
	
	# "filename=" gefunden	
	else:
	
		# vorne abschneiden
		filename = input_str[filename_pos + 9:]
	
		# evtl hinten abschneiden
		if filename.find(";") != -1:
	
			filename = filename[:filename.find(";")]
	
		return filename

for i in range(1148,9000):

	print("Download file ... {0}".format(i))

	# Request to URL
	gabc_download = urllib.request.urlopen("https://gregobase.selapa.net/download.php?id={0}&format=gabc".format(i))
	
	# Get Info Header
	info_str = gabc_download.info()['Content-Disposition']
	
	# Check if anything is found
	if info_str:
	
		#Extract filename
		filename = extract_filename(info_str, i)
	
		# Check if filename was found
		if filename:
	
			# Write the file
			with open("SCORES2/" + filename, "w") as f:
	
				f.write(gabc_download.read().decode("utf-8"))

So maybe it would be nice for other people to have the data in a more convenient way, but I have the data I needed.

OK. Should anyone in future need the data, I can provide them.
And if I ever finish my toy project of an alternative read-only frontend over the GregoBase database, mass export of the scores will be part of it.

@igneus Is there any update on this? Conversely, would read-only credentials to the database itself be on the table? Thank you!

@jjbauer15 If you are looking for a GregoBase export, last December another guy asked me and I generated this http://yakub.cz/gregobase_export/ - gabc of all scores (based on the GregoBase db dump available back then), grouped by source and genre. Hope it helps. (Should the code used for this be of interest, it's here igneus/adiutor@2895ed6 ) On the gregoplus app I referenced in my earlier comment there is no update. It hasn't been and probably won't ever be launched, I have other priorities. čt 16. 11. 2023 v 22:21 odesílatel jjbauer15 ***@***.***> napsal:
