Is there a function that returns all intervals from a chord?

Thanks, Achim

just tried in 3min. ouput correct or perhaps some BUGs in thinking? 😁

greetings

(defun get-all-intervals (alist)
  (let ((alist (sort-asc (flatten (pitch-to-midi (if (chordp alist)
                                            (melodize alist)
                                          alist))))))
    (rest (sort-asc (remove-duplicates
     (loop repeat (length alist)
           for cnt = 0 then (incf cnt)
           append (x-b (filter-last (- (length alist) cnt) alist) (nth cnt alist))))))))


(get-all-intervals '(c4 d4 e4))
=> (2 4)

(get-all-intervals '(c4d4e4f6))
=> (2 4 25 27 29)

 

(pitch-to-interval '(c4d4e4f6))

 

different approach...

 

(pitch-to-interval '(c4d4e4f6)) => intervals between neighbours

(get-all-intervals '(c4d4e4f6)) => all intervals INSIDE the chord (between all pitches)

 

Would this be okay, too?

 

For getting the intervals of  notes related to the first note.

 

(defun chordintervals (chord)
(x-b (pitch-to-midi (pitch-melodize chord)) 
     (pitch-to-midi (first (pitch-melodize chord))))
)

 

melodize instead of pitch-melodize works too, but is not listed under functions.

Is that LISPier?  Does the same as last post.

 

(defun chordintervals (chord)
  (let* ((midimelo (pitch-to-midi (pitch-melodize chord)))
            (chordroot (first midimelo)))
          (x-b midimelo chordroot)))

 

(chordintervals '(c4d4e4g4c5))
(chordintervals '(c4 d4 e4 g4 c5))

both return => (0 2 4 7 12)

And another way:

(defun chordintervals (chord &key ( named nil))
  (let* ((midimelo (pitch-to-midi (pitch-melodize chord)))
         (chordroot (first midimelo))
         (numbers (x-b midimelo chordroot))
         (names (cons 'base-note (rest (get-interval-name numbers)))))
      (if (equal named t) names numbers) ))

(chordintervals '(c4d4e4g4c5))
=>(0 2 4 7 12)

(chordintervals '(c4d4e4g4c5) :named t )
=>(base-note major-second major-third perfect-fifth perfect-octave)

(chordintervals '(c4 d4 e4 g4 c5))
=>(0 2 4 7 12)

(chordintervals '(c4 d4 e4 g4 c5) :named t)
=>(base-note major-second major-third perfect-fifth perfect-octave)

 

I hope I understood the original post correct.
