Sorry for these inconveniences. I have to upgrade and re-design the Spip
sites since quite a while but I've not found time for that.
They lead a bohemian life.
About instructions it would be better for you to read the README
inside the Gigsaw.tar.bz2. I hope you'll have all the necessary to
understand and start it. The short tutoriel gives you a hand.

Besides the new Gigsaw all the material is obsolete. In the next months
BASES-patterns will be fill up again. But first of all I have to be sure
the Gigsaw is working for others.

The Drummer's Gigsaw uses a special way to convert from a lilypond file
to a midi file with *velocities* values. But the scripts aren't your
problem. They automatize a process, there's nothing more.

As its name point out, the README is in... Chinese.

Don't worry. I prefer your way to tell the things than a no man's land.
I'll take it in account.
Cheers.
