I put together a spreadsheet that writes basic sweater patterns for the knitting machine from your own swatch and measurements. Old patterns never matched my yarn, and redoing the maths for every size by hand got tedious.

You type your gauge, your bed (fine, standard, mid, bulky or any needle count) and your measurements. It only lists the rows where you do something, each with the carriage side and the needles in work, like this line from the back:

RC 220 · COR · Set carriage to hold. Push 12 Ns at left to HP. · 174 sts · L75 to R87

If you already use the KnitFactoryImpl generator, it's free and has more styles than this, so you may not need it. The difference is mostly the format: every shaping row has its own line with needle numbers, the front neck comes as two tables (right side, then left side), and a schematic tab shows each finished measurement next to the one you asked for. It's a plain .xlsx with no macros, and the formulas are all visible.

You can use the drop shoulder version without paying, it's here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1FClDJmdO2Gb8IG1QCcdgZ6h13Qo8v0PF?usp=sharing

The full version adds the raglan and a short PDF guide: https://thegraphitelab.etsy.com/listing/4586880285/machine-knitting-sweater-calculator

A script tested it on thousands of random sizes and gauges, but nobody has knitted one from it yet. If you try it I'd really like to hear how it comes out.

Hi everyone, i made two songbooks for Stradella bass accordions, one for 48 bass and one for 72 bass, where every bass and chord button used in the book exists on that size of accordion. A lot of free sheet music assumes a 120 bass, so on a small accordion you end up looking for chords you don't have.

Here's a free sampler with 3 tunes from the 48 bass book:

Every tune has the melody, the bass line with the button names (C, M, m, 7) and the chord name above. The 48 bass book only uses the 8 rows from Eb to E with bass, major, minor and 7th buttons, so it also works on 32, 40, 60, 72, 80, 96 and 120 bass. The right hand stays between B3 and G5, so it fits a 26 key keyboard.

40 tunes in the 48 bass book and 42 in the 72 bass one: waltzes, polkas, marches, sea songs, French tunes and Christmas carols, all public domain, no lyrics. The chords follow simple rules and a script checks every printed button against what each accordion has.

I haven't played all of them on a real accordion yet, that's why there's the free sampler, tell me if something feels off. Both books are on Etsy, 30% off until Oct 14: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4586881503

Hi everyone, i made a book of 38 public domain tunes (classical themes, airs, hymns, marches and 16 Christmas carols) written out in 5 editions: tuba bass clef, euphonium bass clef, Bb treble clef, Eb treble clef and Bb bass clef.

Every tune is in the same concert key and on the same page number in all 5 books, so a tuba, a treble clef euphonium and an Eb bass can just say "page 12" and play together.

Here's a sample with 2 tunes in all 5 editions to try it: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pgSsydfELtYjVdrNrlzui5Y2bI8YjMII?usp=sharing

There's a table at the front to find which edition is yours, and each tune shows the written key, concert key and range under the title.

I know there's a lot of free stuff on IMSLP and tubapeter, but it's mostly loose sheets and almost never in every clef, that's what i wanted to fix.The tunes are all public domain, and a script reads the finished PDFs and checks all 12,205 notes against the original melody.

The full book with the 5 editions is on Etsy, 30% off until Oct 14: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4587581393

If something sits too high or low on your instrument, tell me.

Hi everyone. People here often ask where to find music for their size of lyre, so I made a set of songbooks, one per lyre size, where every note lands on one of your strings. No sharps, no flats, no retuning.

Free sampler, 20 songs, no sign-up: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1x7qJkEGCiBcg7uVrc4ji47r9Op6bWYks?usp=sharing

Each song has normal notation for the rhythm, the string number under every note (1 = your lowest string) and the note letter. The sampler covers 7-string (pentatonic and Kravik tunings), 10-string G3–B4, 16-string G3–A5 and 19/21-string. It has songs like Amazing Grace, Skye Boat Song, Planxty Irwin and the Seikilos epitaph, all public domain.

I built the scripts that place the songs on the strings and check them with an AI coding assistant. The music is engraved with LilyPond, and a separate script checked all 10,700 notes of the full books against the tuning and the original melody, with zero mismatches.

The full set (all four books) is on Etsy, 30% off: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4586627845

If a song doesn't sit right on your lyre, tell me and I'll fix it.
