respell/enharmonic change


Recommended Posts

is there an RESPELL-function which would change sharps into flats and flats into sharps for single pitch-values? enharmonic changes....

 

like: 

 

(enharmonic 'cs4)
=> db4

(enharmonic 'db4)
=> cs4

 

but there is an other solution for an EQUALP* whicht is "independent" from pitch-name (enharmonic)... but a function like ENHARMONIC or EQUALP* could be useful (for pattern-match etc)...

 

(defun equalp* (a b)
  (equal (pitch-to-midi a) (pitch-to-midi b)))


(equalp* 'cs4 'db4)
=> t

 

there is an EQUALP in the system (but not documented), and works like that

(equalp 'cs4 'db4)
=> nil

(equalp 'cs4 'cs4)
=> t

:

EQUALP is part of the Common Lisp standard. You can find its documentation at  

http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/f_equalp.htm

 

Note that Common Lisp has a whole zoo of equality comparison functions, see eq, eql, equal, =, string=, string-equal, char=, char-equal in that documentation

 

Best,

RESPELL/ENHARMONIC

 

here is a solution for that (i hope i got all cases) - could be usefull in OPMO - it was/is a explode/compress-thing of the pitch-symbols and to think about all cases. please check it!!

greetings

andré

Maybe a Kind of Substitute map function could be useful

something like

I did it to interval substitution, to transform interval ( 0 - 11) to interval classes (0 - 6)

(replace-map '((-11 1) (-10 2) (-9 3) (-8 4) (-7 5) (7 -5) (8 -4) (9 -3)(10 -2)(11 -1)) '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13))

Maybe a kind of mapping to tonalities could be useful.

Respell to tonality function

or

respell-to-collection '( pitch list)
