Musical scales from around the world
Python code for Music Development
Keep your eye on this site. Within the next week I will be adding software that will show scores for each of over 400 scales from around the world. It creates sheet music of each scale in every key. The results can be output as lilypond files, .png file or .pdf file.
This is a work in progress. Inital code was written several years ago while I was learning python. You will be able to see improvement from module to module as the learning moved forward.
Application Screenshot:
The ultimate goal will be a system that is able to create exercises for music instructors that can be used in class.
Supplemental functions will include:
manuscript printer capable of printing in as many formats as I know of.
chord charts for each of the scales in catalog.
User data entry which will allow experimentation with new scales starting with or without an existing scale
midi output so that new scales can be tested without a keyboard
A Huge amount of Credit goes to Francesco Balena, http://www.saxopedia.com for his tremendous work on the publication 'The Scale Omnibus' which was my major source for Interval patterns of scales from around the world.
There is a lot of code, and I will be submitting it piece meal so that I can fix the most blatant style issues.
I will be looking for volunteers to help with ongoing development.
