5.1.2 Ordinary functions

Function: make-parsimony (&rest letter-accidental-pairs)

Make a parsimony hash table from LETTER-ACCIDENTAL-PAIRS, each a cons of a ‘pitch-letter’ char and on of :natural, :flat, :sharp, :double-flat or :double-sharp.

Package

music-spelling.

Source

pitch-spelling.lisp.

Function: make-parsimony-ht-from-notes (notes)

Returns a parsimony hash table produced from the accidentals in the list of ‘note’ objects NOTES.

Package

music-spelling.

Source

pitch-spelling.lisp.

Function: make-penalties (&key accidentals augmented diminished direction double-accidentals e#-fb-b#-cb other-intervals parsimony default)

Returns a hash table with the following cumulative penalties used in pitch scoring:

ACCIDENTALS: note is sharp or flat;
AUGMENTED: augmented interval between two consecutive notes;
DIMINISHED: diminished interval between two consecutive notes;
DIRECTION: ascending with flats or descending with sharps;
DOUBLE-ACCIDENTALS: note is double sharp or double flat;
E#-Fb-B#-Cb: specific penalty for these spellings;
OTHER-INTERVALS: intervals between two consecutive notes other than major, minor, perfect, augmented or diminished (e.g. doubly augmented interval); PARSIMONY: occurrence of an accidental different from previous used ones (or pre-defined on a given parsimony table).

Unsupplied values are taken from DEFAULT.

Penalty values are summed when scoring each spelling try. A lower score is better.

Package

music-spelling.

Source

rhythm-spelling.lisp.

Function: min-subdivision-quantize (d subdivision)
Package

music-spelling.

Source

rhythm-spelling.lisp.

Function: pitch-spell (midi-note-numbers &key split penalties parsimony)

Spell notes in MIDI-NOTE-NUMBERS, a list of midi note values, Returning a list of ‘note’ objects.

For longer sequences, computing the n-fold cartesian product of all spelling possibilites becomes dramatically time-intensive. Therefore, the sequence is split in blocks of SPLIT elements, which are calculated separately. However, maintaining previous choices of accidentals across blocks is preferred (divergences receive the ’parsimony’ penalty). PENALTIES is a hash table with the penalties for various situations, summed when scoring spelling tries (see ‘make-penalties’). PARSIMONY is a hash table with the chars for the letters from ’a’ to ’g’ as keys and their preferred initial spelling (:natural, :sharp, :flat, etc.) as values.

Example:
(pitch-spell ’(48 50 52 53 55 57 59 60 61 64 65 68 69))

–> (#<NOTE C3> #<NOTE D3> #<NOTE E3> #<NOTE F3> #<NOTE G3> #<NOTE A3> #<NOTE B3>
#<NOTE C4> #<NOTE C#4> #<NOTE E4> #<NOTE F4> #<NOTE Ab4> #<NOTE A4>)

Package

music-spelling.

Source

pitch-spelling.lisp.

Function: pitch-spell-chords (chord-seq &key penalties parsimony)

Spell chords in CHORD-SEQ, a list of chords, where each chord is a list of midi note values, returning a similarly structured list with the values replaced by ‘note’ objects.
PENALTIES is a hash table with the penalty values for various situations, summed when scoring spelling tries (see ‘make-penalties’). PARSIMONY is a hash table with the chars for the letters from ’a’ to ’g’ as keys and their preferred initial spelling (:natural, :sharp, :flat, etc.) as values.

Example:
(pitch-spell-chords ’((60 64 67) (61 65 68) (62 66 69)))

–> ((#<NOTE C4> #<NOTE E4> #<NOTE G4>) (#<NOTE Db4> #<NOTE F4> #<NOTE Ab4>)
(#<NOTE D4> #<NOTE F#4> #<NOTE A4>))
