Music::Scales can supply necessary notes / offsets for musical scales.

SYNOPSIS

use Music::Scales;

my @maj = get_scale_notes(Eb); # defaults to major
print join(" ",@maj); # "Eb F G Ab Bb C D"
my @blues = get_scale_nums(bl); # bl,blu,blue,blues
print join(" ",@blues); # "0 3 5 6 7 10"
my %min = get_scale_offsets (G,mm,1); # descending melodic minor
print map {"$_=$min{$_} "} sort keys %min; # "A=0 B=-1 C=0 D=0 E=-1 F=0 G=0"

Given a keynote A-G(#/b) and a scale-name, will return the scale, either as an array of notenames or as a hash of semitone-offsets for each note.

METHODS

get_scale_nums($scale[,$descending])

returns an array of semitone offsets for the requested scale, ascending/descending the given scale for one octave. The descending flag determines the direction of the scale, and also affects those scales (such as melodic minor) where the notes vary depending upon the direction. Scaletypes and valid values for $scale are listed below.

get_scale_notes($notename[,$scale,$descending,$keypref])

returns an array of notenames, starting from the given keynote. Enharmonic equivalencies (whether to use F# or Gb, for instance) are calculated based on the keynote and the scale. Basically, it attempts to do the Right Thing if the scale is an 8-note one, (the 7th in G harmonic minor being F# rather than Gb, although G minor is a flat key), but for any other scales, (Chromatic, blues etc.) it picks equivalencies based upon the keynote. This can be overidden with $keypref, setting to be either # or b for sharps and flats respectively. Cruftiness abounds here.

get_scale_offsets($notename[,$scale,$descending,$keypref])

as get_scale_notes(), except it returns a hash of notenames with the values being a semitone offset (-1, 0 or 1) as shown in the synopsis.

get_scale_MIDI($notename,$octave[,$scale,$descending])

as get_scale_notes(), but returns an array of MIDI note-numbers, given an octave number (-1..9).

get_scale_PDL($notename,$octave[,$scale,$descending])

as get_scale_MIDI(), but returns an array of PDL-format notes.

is_scale($scalename)

returns true if $scalename is a valid scale name used in this module.

Random Phase Music Generator is a small program that generates random phase music. Random music has been around for a long time (from Mozarts musical dice game to John Cages chance music), but phase music was invented rather recently by Steve Reich.

It would be interesting to combine those ideas, so I have written this program as a tool for further experiments. Type xmkmf and then make to compile the program. LessTif users, replace xmkmf with mxmkmf.

If your xmkmf is broken, you have to install manually. Edit Makefile.man (examples for Solaris, AIX and LessTif are provided). Make sure INCS and LIBS are linking to the correct directories, then type make -f Makefile.man to compile.

Run phase from an X terminal. Some users might need to point LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the Motif libraries. After starting up the program, you can use the File menu to load or save the panel settings, and the Music menu to play the generated phase music or save it to a MIDI file.

Top Music allows you to publish music (albums, songs, sound tracks, rankings, artists, etc.) to create an online music portal.

It features: A-Z list of bands; band information (name, photo, genre, biography, etc.); discography; album information (title, year, covers, band, etc.); albums songs lists; song information (title, album, number, lyrics, etc.); the ability to listen to tracks; searching; ranking lists (most visited, most voted, etc.); a voting system; an uploads system; themes; an easy configuration screen; many blocks; multi-language support; easy installation; and a support forum, mailing lists, and Sourceforge.net support (CVS, files, etc.)

PyMusicD is yet another jukebox daemon written in python. It was born out of my frustration with the current mp3 jukeboxes, mostly the lack of features that I want. Ive also been playing with python quite a lot lately, and this is my first attempt at a large project in python.
The player is being written to satisfy my own requirements for a car mp3 player, although theres no reason you couldnt use this for a home mp3 player, or work mp3 player.
It assumes that your network users are (mostly) benign, and doesnt take a lot of precautions against malicious users who want to screw with your mp3s. Take appropriate measures to only allow trusted users to play with it, at least until I secure it a bit better.
Its primary purpose is to run in the background, and play mp3s whenever they are in the playlist.
Usage
Unpack this to its own directory. Edit the pymusicd.conf file to your liking. Run python PyMusicD, then run python pymusic to play around with it. The client operates very similarly to most shells, and includes tab completion for commands (but not arguments... yet.)
If you wish to install this to the system, you may do so by running python setup.py install. This will install the server binary in the default place for your platform (according to distutils.) You may then edit the config file (/etc/pymusicd.conf by default) and run the server by running PyMusicD. The cli client will be named pymusic.
This software is currently in development. It is not ready for end users yet. You should have familiarity with scripting in python before you set about to use this software. That being said, if you find bugs that arent listed in TODO, and/or have problems with the software that arent listed in TODO, email me (zwhite@darkstar.frop.org) and Ill see what I can do to help you. Code patches/suggestions are always welcome.
This is known to work on my Slackware 9.0 machine using the Python 2.2.2 package that came with it. I have also tested it on my Mac OSX 10.2.8 machine with Python 2.2. I have no reason to believe that it wont work on any machine with a Python 2.x interpreter and
either mpg123 or mpg321. Your mileage may vary. If it doesnt work on your platform, please let me know. My goal is to have this work on any platform that python runs on.
Enhancements:
- Fixed a bug when adding an entire directory with %2A instead of *
- Added a debug command to get server state, currently only playstatus is reported, will add more as needed.
- Changed the way the stop command works to eliminate a bug.
- Check to make sure a file exists before we add it to the playlist.
- We no longer start playing music as soon as the playlist has entries.
- Instead, we wait for a play command to be issued.
- Added config file support. Defaults to /etc/pymusicd.conf or ./pymusicd.conf
- Added a setup.py and setup.cfg file. Now users can install PyMusicD using the standard "python setup.py install" method that other scripts and modules use.
