I'm putting a bit of time and effort in adding the correct "creation" date
to every sigle piece of classical music I have, and I'm wondering if anybody
had developed a graphical interface to select tracks through their creation date.
If so, I kindly ask them to share their system.
Thanks.
What do you mean by graphical interface? Are facets or Columns UI filter panels not sufficient?
Yes, many library viewers are sufficient to let you select what you want
using the writing date.
But I was thinking more of a line with two "trim markers"
for setting the beginning and the end of the time period
you would like to select.
The "graphical" side of the tool would be useful to let one put in the
background of the line the time indicators (decades or so)
and maybe also different colours for the different music genre
of each time period (baroque; classical; early romantic; etc.).
It would also be useful to see on the "timeline" where is positioned
in time the now playing track.
I also filled in the birth and death dates of the composers so it would be
possible to show also an area corrisponding to the composer lifespan.
Look here to get a better idea of what I mean.
