Dear Janusz,

 

This is the closest I get. I suppose it isn't related to Time-point.

I'll try to explain.

1) There is a general list of pitches from a certain source (a row, for example)

2) From this list, we use the rhythm list as a skip list of pitches, picking the notes from a sequence.

3) The sequence of note picks is related to the lenght of note divided by the small quantized value, for example, the 16th note.

4) So, the lenght sequence

(1/2 1/16 7/16 1/8 3/8 3/16 5/16 1/4 1/4 5/16  3/16))

Will result in a pick skip note sequence like (8, 1, 7, 2, 6, 3, 5, 4, 4, 5, 3)

5) The pick-skip note acts like

 

8 - means pick the first and skip 7 from the first list of pitches

1 - means pick the first and skip 0 from the first list of pitches

7 - means pick the first and skip 6 from the first list of pitches

and so on...

 

This will result in a sublist of first list of pitches, based on the skipped notes, taken every nth notes.

according to the sequence.

 

5) The missed step is that I want to chordize this sublist to an desired HARMONIC partition, like

 for example 2 trichords, 1 dyad, 3 single notes and a tetrachord, using something like this:

 

(chordize (gen-divide '(3 3 2 1 1 1 4) 'pitches sublist))

 

Here is the closer I get.

 

Best,

Julio

Hello, All

 

I'm trying to work out André's solution examples to make partitions out of tone rows or infinity series

 

(setf lengths  '(1/2 1/16 7/16 1/8 3/8 3/16 5/16 1/4 1/4 5/16  3/16))
(setf pitches '(g4 gs4 fs4 a4 gs4 g4 f4 bb4 fs4 a4 g4 gs4 a4 fs4 e4 b4 gs4 g4 f4 bb4 g4 gs4 fs4 a4 f4 bb4 gs4 g4 bb4 f4 eb4 c5 fs4 a4 g4 gs4 a4 fs4 e4 b4 g4 gs4 fs4 a4 gs4 g4 f4 bb4 a4 fs4 e4 b4 fs4 a4 g4 gs4 e4 b4 a4 fs4 b4 e4 d4 cs5 gs4 g4 f4 bb4 g4 gs4 fs4 a4 f4 bb4 gs4 g4 bb4 f4 eb4 c5 g4 gs4 fs4 a4 gs4 g4 f4 bb4 fs4 a4 g4 gs4 a4 fs4 e4 b4 f4 bb4 gs4 g4))

;;; get the pitches
 
(setf pitsublist (loop for i in (append (list 0) (cumulative-sums (loop for k in lengths collect (/ k 1/16)))) collect (nth i pitches))

 

; All ok but what I need next is to take the nth order sublist generated in André's solution to chordize it in partitions ala Babbitt.

 

chordize (gen-divide '(2 1 3) '(pitsublist) chordize-list (gen-divide '(2 1 3) '(pitsublist))))

 

Any hint ?

Thanks a lot !

Thanks a lot, Stephane !

 

I used Opusmodus to generate a complete catalog of all classes.

I´ll cite Opusmodus  in my dissertation, Great tool !

Thank you !

BEst,

Julio

Dear Torsten,

 

Thanks a lot. This music21 is cool, really.

I´m doing the job with this, for a while, since I have to conclude my doctoral dissertation.

Best,

Dear All,

 

I´m looking for some way of retrieving musical information from sets of notes.

Some problems, for example:

 

1) This is the first and more needed now:

Given some UNORDERED amount of pitches, how retrive the prime

 form and/or Forte Number.

2) How to do this from an existing midi file or XML ? Is t possible to

 retrive the forte number of every "n" notes of the pitch collection (melody or chord)?

3) Can you circunscribe some notes for analysis in a large file ?
 

Thanks, everyone !

 

Best,

Julio

Very Cool !!! And realistic. Congrats !

Yeah, Stephane ! Thanks !

And you changed lenght-div for some-lenght. Great.

I did this today.

By the way, I generated 400 files with this method today !

All the sets mod 12. Like 100 pages, or more.

Thanks !

Hey, Janusz !

It worked !

Thanks for your patience !

This will be an immense time saver to me.

Best !

Julio

Hello, Friends !

 

I'm using the code below to generate combinations of rhythm in 12/8 time signature.

I'd like to have my XML with correct beaming of the notes, related to the most common

 interpretation of a 12/8 time signature, i. e., beaming every 3 8th notes.

Instead, I'm getting it more beamed like a 6/4 time signature:

 

Is there some form of force the right beaming?

 

All the best !

Please help this doctorate student !

Julio

I just read now the first line of your message.

Thanks, Stephane !

Best,

Julio

Thanks a lot, Stephane ! This is great ! And thank you for

 showing me more functions.

However, there some issues: how to control to get a 12/8 instead of a 6/4?

Or: how to get always a time signature with x/8 ? Or always

with a X/4, or mix them ?

In the example you provide, a 12 generates a 6/4 instead of a 12/8.

I changed the code a little:

 

(setf some-pitches (integer-to-pitch (gen-integer-step 7 480 '(0))))

;>>> here, because I want to stay in the same note g4
(setf lengths (span some-pitches '(q q e q q q e)))

;>>> here, because I want this specific rhythm, not random sample
(setf some-division '(21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3))

;here, there's that problem of 6/4 versus 12/8 and one more problem occurred because OM stop changing the timesignature after the  number 14 (xml attached) I don't know why.
(setf length-div (gen-divide some-division some-lengths))
(setf time-sig (get-time-signature length-div))

Hello, friends !

I'm trying to make some rhythm patterns and I'd like to use the same pattern

 changing just the time signature order/or sequence.

For example, assuming an 8th note as the number 1.

2 2 1 2 2 2 1 (african bembé rhythm) as a pattern.

This pattern could match in a 12/8 time signature or also

 in a 3/4 time signature. This is ok, no problem.

But what if I like to span it as a 10/8 + 2/8 or 9/8 + 3/8

 or 7/8 + 5/8 or in a sequence like 3/8 + 2/8 + 4/8 + 3/8 always

 repeating the time signature sequences until have al the notes

 spanned ?

 

Thanks for help !

Best !

Julio

 

This works for me with ONE time signature only. I need the same

 stuff with a SEQUENCE of time signatures.

 

(setf padrao '((0 1 2 3)))
(setf pitches '((g4 g4 g4 g4  HERE COME THE PITCH LIST,  padrao :type :pitch)))
(setf lengths (span pitches '(e e -e e HERE COMES THE Rhythm pattern list - same size or less than the pitches)))
(setf text (span pitches padrao))

(def-score Stage-1
           (:key-signature 'chromatic
            :time-signature '(4 4)
            :tempo 80
            :layout (treble-layout 'piano-rh))
 (piano-rh
   :length lengths
   :pitch pitches
   ;text text
   :channel 1
   :sound 'gm
   :program 'clarinet)
)

 

Thank you, Stephane, for the tip.

Thanks for listening, Janusz  (I feel honored) !

Best !

Julio

I have Opusmodus running on El Capitan.

The latest version is only compatible with Sierra ?

Do I must have to upgrade my OSX to get upgrades ?

Best.

Julio

Thanks ! I'll Try !

Dear Friends,

 

Is there some function that deals with finding the shortest path between,

for example, a trichord "a" to a trichord "b" ?

In general, how to find the shortest path from a collection of notes (i.e. a chord) "a" to a collection

 of notes "b" (both in the same cardinality) ?

 

Thanks in advance !

Best !

Julio

Dear Torsten,

 

Thanks a lot ! Yes, very clear now !

Actually, I have the full software license. I like Opusmodus a lot !

Best,

Julio

Dear Friends,

 

Is there some tutorial covering the basic rhythm notation

 coding, showing how to write the basic code for

 tuplets, beaming, ties, etc ?

 

For example, here in Lilypond there are a very detailed manual on rhythm coding.

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/writing-rhythms

 

Is there something similar in Opusmodus ?

I´m working in a kind translation of Puredata to Opusmodus, so I need the syntax.

 

Thanks,

Julio
