( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Richard Parncutt has got a bunch of 'C' code building on Prof. Terhardt's work, including a chord root program that examines progressions. This is the 'single chord' core of his version, which gives a level of ambiguity as well. I'm still playing with both this and the above...for single chords, the above may still be better - the now-infamous 'Tristan' example comes out as G# (second = B) - both valid, (and I would possibly argue more for the G#m6 spelling than a C#9 ), but research continues - *one* of them will make it into Music::Chord, I'm sure :)
use List::Util qw(max sum); use strict; use warnings; sub note2num { my ($n,$m) = split(//,uc(shift())); my %nums = qw(C 0 D 2 E 4 F 5 G 7 A 9 B 11); my $num = $nums{$n}; $num++ if ($m eq 'S' || $m eq '#'); $num-- if ($m eq 'F' || $m eq 'B'); $num; } sub num2note { my $num = int(shift()) % 12; my %notes = (0,'C',1,'C#',2,'D',3,'D#',4,'E',5,'F',6,'F#',7,'G',8, +'G#',9,'A',10,'A#',11,'B'); $notes{$num}; } sub root { my @chord = @_; my @weights; my @rootWeights = (10,0,1,0,3,0,0,5,0,0,2,0); # weights of root-su +pport intervals, similar to those in Parncutt (1988) my @notes; $notes[$_] = 0 foreach (0..11); $notes[note2num($_)] = 1 foreach (@chord); foreach my $pc(0..11) { $weights[$pc] = sum(map{$notes[($pc+$_)%12]*$rootWeights[$_]} +(0..11)); } my $ambig=sqrt(sum(@weights)/max(@weights)); my @final = map {num2note($_)} sort {$weights[$b] <=> $weights[$a] +} (0..11); ($ambig,@final); } my ($ambiguity, @roots) = root('b','d#','f','g#'); foreach (1..int($ambiguity)) { print "Root $_ = $roots[$_-1]\n"; }
Cheers,
Ben,

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
