Dear All, 

 

One interesting conversion would be the one for transforming the get-time-signature result to

length-span time signature format. This would be useful to rephrase rhythmically one rhythm with another´s rhythm time-signature structure.

For example:

 

; Take this rhythm

(setf ritmos (gen-repeat 4 (gen-length '((1 2 1 2 1 1) (1 1 1 1 1 2 1) (1 -3 1 -3 2 -2 4) (-3 1 -1 1 1 1)) '(16))))

 

Here is the bar structure for this

 

(get-time-signature ritmos)

 

This is the output

 

((2 4 2) (4 4 1) (2 4 3) (4 4 1) (2 4 3) (4 4 1) (2 4 3) (4 4 1) (2 4 1))

 

If I want to use this result as a time signature template in the length-span I have to convert it to

 

(2/4 2/4 1 2/4 2/4 2/4 1 2/4 2/4 2/4 1 2/4 2/4 2/4 1 2/4)

 

in order to use the time-signature order it in the length-span function

 

Is there some function that performs this ?

 

Best !

I did this extravagant coding , but I need it with the slashes ( " / " ) and the repetitions, like converting (2 4 3) into (2/4 2/4 2/4)...

 

(setf timesig-to-length-span 
(flatten
(matrix-transpose 
(list 
(lake-everyother 
(get-count (get-count (get-time-signature ritmos))) ; how many
0 3  (flatten (get-time-signature ritmos)))
(lake-everyother 
(get-count (get-count (get-time-signature ritmos))) ; how many
1 3  (flatten (get-time-signature ritmos)))
)
))
)

 

;;(2 4 4 4 2 4)

I love lake-everyother

Hi Julio.

Maybe something like this will work.

 

Jesper

 

(setf tst '((2 4 2) (4 4 1) (2 4 3) (4 4 1) (2 4 3) (4 4 1) (2 4 3) (4 4 1) (2 4 1)))

(defun foo (lst)
  (flatten (loop for x in lst collect (make-list (caddr x) :initial-element (/ (car x) (cadr x)))))
  )

(foo tst)

 

->(1/2 1/2 1 1/2 1/2 1/2 1 1/2 1/2 1/2 1 1/2 1/2 1/2 1 1/2)

Hi Julio,

 

you can use get-span function:

(setf ritmos (gen-repeat 4 (gen-length '((1 2 1 2 1 1) (1 1 1 1 1 2 1) (1 -3 1 -3 2 -2 4) (-3 1 -1 1 1 1)) '(16))))

(get-span ritmos)

=> (1/2 1/2 1 1/2 1/2 1/2 1 1/2 1/2 1/2 1 1/2 1/2 1/2 1 1/2)

Yup, that avoids one step, Stephane.

I have to study the built-in functions some more.

 

Jesper

Or 

(mapcar (lambda (x) (sum (mapcar 'abs x))) ritmos)

 

Jesper

Thanks a lot Stephane and Jesper !

Best !
