- Add properties for Forte prime (include inversions) and Forte name - Create set class objects from the Forte name or decimal - Fix brightest_form to use most packed to the right - Add a dictionary of (hopefully correct!) FORTE_PRIMES - Add tests to improve coverage |

Python library for set class music theory
A hopefully useful library for exploring set classes in music theory, of arbitrary tonalities (any number of equal divisions of the octave).
Run tests
To download the code, and run the tests:
git clone https://git.jon.geek.nz/public/setclass
cd setclass
python -m virtualenv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
tox
Usage
In Python:
from setclass import SetClass
sc = SetClass(0, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11) # Forte 7-20; pitch classes as integers 0-11
sc.versions
sc.brightest_form
sc.darkest_form
sc.duodecimal_notation # SetClass[0,3,5,6,7,T,E]
Proper library documentation to come soon with Sphinx.
TODO
- Documentation (Sphinx)
- Interoperate with music21 objects
- Generate MIDI files
- Generate LilyPond files for set pitches
- Calculate microtonal pitches and frequencies for use with non-dodecal tonalities
