Other concepts

Bridges

Converting into another concept may need context this value does not carry (a root, an octave, a key). Where it is missing the library assumes a default and says so; where a step drops information it is listed.

• Chord symbol · Chord symbol

  lossy
  C5

  Path pc-set → chord

  • Drops interpretation. 0-7 is named C5, a detection rather than a spelling.

• Note set · Letter names

  exact
  C4-G4

  Path pc-set → note-set · needs root, octave

  • Assumed root C. No root was given, so the value is read from C.
  • Assumed octave 4. No octave was given, so octave 4 is used.

• Pitch-class distribution · Twelve weights

  Path pc-set → pc-space

• Point set · Semitone offsets

  Path pc-set → point-set

• Set class · Forte name

  lossy
  2-5

  Path pc-set → pc-set-analysis

  • Drops transposition. The set's Tn class (Forte name with A/B, prime form); the transposition is dropped.

• Grid position · Cells col,row (optional layout@origin: prefix)

  lossy
  aura@C3:3,0 4,1

  Path pc-set → note-set → grid-position · needs root, octave, layout

  • Assumed root C. No root was given, so the value is read from C.
  • Assumed octave 4. No octave was given, so octave 4 is used.
  • Assumed layout aura. No layout was given, so positions are read on the aura layout.
  • Assumed root C3. No root was given, so the value sounds above C3.
  • Drops alternative positions. C4 has 2 positions, G4 has 2 positions on aura; the one nearest (0, 0) is kept.

• Note distribution · MIDI : weight pairs

  exact
  60:1,67:1

  Path pc-set → note-set → note-space · needs root, octave

  • Assumed root C. No root was given, so the value is read from C.
  • Assumed octave 4. No octave was given, so octave 4 is used.

• Pitch class · Pitch-class number

  Path pc-set → chord → pitch-class

  • Drops interpretation. 0-7 is named C5, a detection rather than a spelling.
  • Drops quality, bass. A chord symbol's root.

• Note · Letter name

  lossy
  C4

  Path pc-set → chord → pitch-class → note · needs octave

  • Assumed octave 4. No octave was given, so octave 4 is used.
  • Drops interpretation. 0-7 is named C5, a detection rather than a spelling.
  • Drops quality, bass. A chord symbol's root.
