Removing white spaces from a list ?

[JulioHerrlein]

Dear All,

 

I'm trying to find a loop for making substitutions in a list, for changing the ranges of a list of pitches.

 

SOME PITCHES (AND WHAT TO CHANGE)

 

(setf pitches '(c4 d4 e4 c4 eb4 f4 c4 eb4 eb5))
(setf i '(c4 eb4))

 

This will take out the range of the notes, i.e., c4 db5 will became c db

(defun convert-pitch (pitches)
  (loop for i in pitches
    when (pitchp i)
    collect (compress (butlast (explode i)))
    else collect i))

 

Setting a variable for pitches without range indication (pitnorng)

and a new range list

(setf pitnorng (convert-pitch pitches))
(setf rangelist '(4 5 3 6 4))

 

Function to put back the new range to the notes

(defun convert-pitchbk (pitnorng)
  (loop for i in pitnorng
    when i
    collect (flatten (mapcar 'list pitnorng rangelist)) else collect i
))

Setting a collection of notes with new ranges:

(setf convbaklst (convert-pitchbk pitnorng))

The (problematic) result:

((c 4 d 5 e 3 c 6 eb 4) (c 4 d 5 e 3 c 6 eb 4) (c 4 d 5 e 3 c 6 eb 4) (c 4 d 5 e 3 c 6 eb 4) (c 4 d 5 e 3 c 6 eb 4) (c 4 d 5 e 3 c 6 eb 4) (c 4 d 5 e 3 c 6 eb 4) (c 4 d 5 e 3 c 6 eb 4) (c 4 d 5 e 3 c 6 eb 4))

 

I have WHITE SPACES between the note and the corresponding range...

LISP PROBLEM:

 

How to remove the white spaces ?

Best,

Julio

And also...

 

The list is multiplied 9 times... why?

Some problem in the loop function, I suppose...

(loop for i in (gen-divide 2 '(c 4 d 5 e 3 c 6 eb 4))
  collect (compress i))

=> (c4 d5 e3 c6 eb4)

i didn't read you posts precisely. only the last ONE ...but you could use COMPRESS...?

Thanks a lot, André !

I´m trying to use your famous loops !

All the Best !

Happy 2019 !

I will make the octave-map function work with octaves numbers as well.

(octave-map '(c3 cs3 e5 f5 fs6 g5 gs4 a4 as3 b3)
	    '(c3 d3 e3 f3 g4 f4 e4 d4 c4 cs4))
=> (c3 d3 e5 f5 g6 f5 e4 d4 c3 cs3)

(octave-map '(3 3 5 5 6 5 4 4 3 3)
            '(c3 d3 e3 f3 g4 f4 e4 d4 c4 cs4))
=> (c3 d3 e5 f5 g6 f5 e4 d4 c3 cs3)

i know, LOOPS are not very LISPian! but for me the most simple way "to think such processes" (more intuitive then recursion/iteration). and when the function/code is not to large it's not that important...

(octave-map '(3 3 7 5 6 6 7 7 7 3) '(c3 d3 e3 f3 g4 f4 e4 d4 c4 cs4))
=> (c3 d3 e7 f5 g6 f6 e7 d7 c7 cs3)

 

Thank you Janusz ! Good Idea !

Happy 2019 !

Best,

Janusz,

It would be great with some kind of span inside, like this:

 

(octave-map '(3 5 6)
            '(c3 d3 e3 f3 g3 f3 e3 d3 c3 cs3))

=> (c3 d5 e6 f3 g5 f6 e3 d5 c6 cs3)

Best,

Julio

Or better:

 

(octave-map '(3 5 6)
            '(c3 d3 e3 f3 g3 f3 e3 d3 c3 cs3) :span t)

=> (c3 d5 e6 f3 g5 f6 e3 d5 c6 cs3)

Best,

Personally, i like very much to use the loop macro facilities, much clear and easy for me than recursion.

Also, I am a big fan of it because it is very powerful.

This is how all functions work - with span or trim build in.

Done in version 1.3.24409.

Great, Janusz.

And no more manual updates !!
