Changelog History

• v0.3.1 Changes

  October 08, 2017

  ➕ Added

  • Live playback on the terminal: Mezzo compositions can now be played back live from the terminal using an external midi synthesiser (e.g. SimpleSynth) and Euterpea.
  • Empty cadences: you can use end as a cadential phrase to compose a chord progression without a cadence.
  • Score transformation: you can use the functions such as delay and transpose to manipulate music at the MIDI track level. While this allows for more flexibility, composition of Scores is not rule-checked, so there is no static guarantee that the resulting music will sound good.

  🔄 Changed

  • The melody constructor play has been renamed to start.

  🛠 Fixed

  • ✏️ Readme typos and rule set changes in examples.
  • Clashes with Prelude's min function.

• v0.3.0 Changes

  June 16, 2017

  ➕ Added

  • Chord progressions: create chord progressions following the conventions of functional harmony.
  • Dyads: 2-note chords (thirds, fourths, fifths and octaves), together with their doubled versions.
  • Scores: break up a piece into sections that can be compiled and combined separately, and specify various attributes of the music, such as tempo, title, key and time signature.
  • Triplets: play three notes in the time of two.
  • Rule sets: customise the musical rules checked by the library. Includes three strictness levels, from no rule-checking to strict counterpoint.
  • Several small and large examples.
