I made a CLI version of this before, you might want to check out the algorithm to see how I did voice leading: https://github.com/Miserlou/chords2midi

Looks awesome, love the tab view.

If there other hackers who make music here, I wrote this:

https://github.com/Miserlou/chords2midi

for writing chord progressions on the command line. I use it for building progressions which I drag into my DAW. It has voice leading, which required me translating an algorithm from 18th century German musical textbook into Python. I don't speak German and there were no unit tests in the 1700s so I'm only fairly certain that it works properly.

I will make a plugin version once ableton supports CLAP.

I ended up creating a lighter version of this for one my projects, https://github.com/Miserlou/chords2midi

I think that something that Alda looks like it lacks right now is doing things around intervals rather than notes, as transpositions and key changes will be very tedious without embedded knowledge of intervals.

The whole thing is based around a Python library called Mingus, which I think gives you most of what you'd ever need to build a music programming project.

This is cool, I made a similar command line tool for generating the same sort of thing: https://github.com/Miserlou/chords2midi

Having said that, nothing prevents you from experimenting with them using some freely available ones https://github.com/ldrolez/free-midi-chords

You can get thousands of chord progressions as MIDI files for FREE here https://github.com/ldrolez/free-midi-chords (🤫 don’t tell Unison about this). All chords are organized for user-friendliness.
