(defun length-to-decimal (alist &key (sum nil))
  (let ((list (loop for i in (omn :length alist)
                collect (float (* i 4)))))
      (if (equal sum t)
      (sum list)
      list)))

;;; result: q = 1 / h. = 3 ...etc...
(length-to-decimal '(h. h. 3q 5e 3h))
=> (3.0 3.0 0.33333334 0.1 0.6666667)

(length-to-decimal '(h. h. 3q 5e 3h) :sum t)
=> 7.1

(defun length-to-sec (alist tempo &key (sum nil))
  (let ((list (loop for i in (omn :length alist)
                collect (* (/ 60 tempo) (float (* i 4))))))
    (if (equal sum t)
      (sum list)
      list)))

(length-to-sec '(h. h. 3q 5e 3h) 60)
=> (3.0 3.0 0.33333334 0.1 0.6666667)

(length-to-sec '(h. h. 3q 5e 3h) 51)
=> (3.5294118 3.5294118 0.3921569 0.11764707 0.7843138)

(length-to-sec '(h. h. 3q 5e 3h) 51 :sum t)
=> 8.3529415

 

I used this function for conversion of 4 instrument each with in its own tempo to one 'global' tempo.

 

Examples:

(length-tempo-map 72 36 '1/4)
=> 1/2

(length-tempo-map 72 36 'w)
=> 2

(length-tempo-map 72 88 '(1/8 1/4 -1/4))
=> (9/88 9/44 -9/44)

(length-tempo-map 72 '(120 36)
                  '((1/8 1/4 -1/4) (1/16 1/8 -1/4 1/1)))
=> ((3/40 3/20 -3/20) (1/8 1/4 -1/2 2))

(length-tempo-map 72 '(36 96 72)
                  '((1/20 1/20 1/20 1/20 1/20) 
                    (1/16 1/16 1/16 1/16 1/16 1/16 1/16 1/16)
                    (1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8)
                    (1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4))
                  :meter '(1 1 1))
=> ((1/10 1/10 1/10 1/10 1/10)
    (1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8) 
    (1/4 1/4 3/32 3/32)
    (3/16 3/16 3/16 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/2))

(length-tempo-map 72 36 '((e c4 e4 g4 h_e c5)
                          (q c4 = = - - =)
                          (q cs5 = - - = =)))
=> ((q c4 e4 g4 w_q c5)
    (h c4 = = - - =)
    (h cs5 = - - = =))

(length-tempo-map 72 '(36 96 72)
                  '((e c4 e4 g4 h_e c5)
                    (q c4 = = - - =)
                    (q cs5 = - - = =))
                  :meter '(1 1 1))
=> ((q c4 e4 g4 w_q c5)
    (e. c4 = = - -q =)
    (q cs5 = -h - = =))

Janusz, where is this above function 'length-tempo-map'?

 

It doesn't appear to be part of system and system/forum searches only come up with this one reference?

 

Thanks in advance.

function name changed to length-to-tempo.

The new name is length-to-tempo - for some time 🙂

Thank you for the info and replies ;-)
