Combination without repeating elements


Recommended Posts

Dear Friends,

 

I´m interested in the 4-note combinations of the diatonic scale without repeating elements.

 

(combination2 4 '(c3 d3 e3 f3 g3 a3 b3))

The filter-repeat and the remove-duplicates are not giving the right result.

 

PARTIAL RESULT,,,

combination2, size: 4
((b3 b3 b3 b3) (a3 b3 b3 b3) (g3 b3 b3 b3) (f3 b3 b3 b3) (e3 b3 b3 b3) (d3 b3 b3 b3) (c3 b3 b3 b3) (b3 a3 b3 b3) (a3 a3 b3 b3) (g3 a3 b3 b3) (f3 a3 b3 b3) (e3 a3 b3 b3) (d3 a3 b3 b3) (c3 a3 b3 b3) (b3 g3 b3 b3) (a3 g3 b3 b3) (g3 g3 b3 b3) (f3 g3 b3 b3) (e3 g3 b3 b3) (d3 g3 b3 b3) (c3 g3 b3 b3) (b3 f3 b3 b3) (a3 f3 b3 b3) (g3 f3 b3 b3) (f3 f3 b3 b3) (e3 f3 b3 b3) (d3 f3 b3 b3) (c3 f3 b3 b3) (b3 e3 b3 b3) (a3 e3 b3 b3) (g3 e3 b3 b3) (f3 e3 b3 b3) (e3 e3 b3 b3) (d3 e3 b3 b3) (c3 e3 b3 b3) (b3 d3 b3 b3) (a3 d3 b3 b3) (g3 d3 b3 b3) (f3 d3 b3 b3) (e3 d3 b3 b3) (d3 d3 b3 b3) (c3 d3 b3 b3) (b3 c3 b3 b3) (a3 c3 b3 b3) (g3 c3 b3 b3) (f3 c3 b3 b3) (e3 c3 b3 b3) (d3 c3 b3 b3) (c3 c3 b3 b3) (b3 b3 a3 b3) (a3 b3 a3 b3) (g3 b3 a3 b3) (f3 b3 a3 b3) (e3 b3 a3 b3) (d3 b3 a3 b3) (c3 b3 a3 b3) (b3 a3 a3 b3) (a3 a3 a3 b3) (g3 a3 a3 b3) (f3 a3 a3 b3) (e3 a3 a3 b3) (d3 a3 a3 b3) (c3 a3 a3 b3) (b3 g3 a3 b3) (a3 g3 a3 b3) (g3 g3 a3 b3) (f3 g3 a3 b3) (e3 g3 a3 b3) (d3 g3 a3 b3) (c3 g3 a3 b3) (b3 f3 a3 b3) (a3 f3 a3 b3) 

 

I want to filter OUT the sets like 

((b3 b3 b3 b3)
 (a3 b3 b3 b3)
 (g3 b3 b3 b3)
 (f3 b3 b3 b3)
 (e3 b3 b3 b3)
 (d3 b3 b3 b3)

 

With one or more repeating notes.

 

Best,

Julio

There's a count-repeat function.

 

? (count-repeat '(a3 b3 b3 b3))
count-repeat
(1 3)

 

Thus

(let ((*do-verbose* nil))
  (remove-if 
   (lambda (x) (> (apply #'max (count-repeat x)) 1)) ;; or replace apply with (reduce #'max (count-repeat x)), essentially does the same 
   (combination2 4 '(c3 d3 e3 f3 g3 a3 b3))))

((a3 b3 a3 b3) (g3 b3 a3 b3) (f3 b3 a3 b3) (e3 b3 a3 b3) (d3 b3 a3 b3) (c3 b3 a3 b3) (b3 g3 a3 b3) (a3 g3 a3 b3) (f3 g3 a3 b3) (e3 g3 a3 b3) (d3 g3 a3 b3) (c3 g3 a3 b3) (b3 f3 a3 b3) (a3 f3 a3 b3) (g3 f3 a3 b3) (e3 f3 a3 b3) (d3 f3 a3 b3) (c3 f3 a3 b3) (b3 e3 a3 b3) (a3 e3 a3 b3) (g3 e3 a3 b3) (f3 e3 a3 b3) (d3 e3 a3 b3) (c3 e3 a3 b3) (b3 d3 a3 b3) (a3 d3 a3 b3) (g3 d3 a3 b3) (f3 d3 a3 b3) (e3 d3 a3 b3) (c3 d3 a3 b3) (b3 c3 a3 b3) ...
