Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Ask HN: What open source AI projects do you wish existed?
https://github.com/pedrozath/coltrane Has gotten me thinking about AI for teaching music theory, but I really don't think it is there yet, music theory is far to fuzzy for AI right now. I do think there are niches where it could be quite great, it could absolutely do well in teaching much of counterpoint and classical forms, perhaps even the basics of harmony but it is hard to disentangle harmony from the fuzzy areas and I could see AI doing more damage than good there.

Coltrane: A music theory library with a command-line interface
> And if he won't take it, you could pay a freelancer $500 and task them with tackling some of the open issues that are present in the tracker.
Might be relevant: https://github.com/pedrozath/coltrane/issues/57
> because none of the commands work
The Readme had some outdated information. Explained better on the issue https://github.com/pedrozath/coltrane/issues/56
> The chords for guitar also are weird. It doesn't seem to be using traditional shapes, but is looking for available notes within a fret range. Which leads to difficult, basically unusable fingerings.
That's a design choice on this library. I tried to rely the least as possible on lookup tables, dictionaries, etc, leaving things to be discovered algorithmically instead. It is a difficult challenge, but for example if someone decides to use an entirely different tuning, the software will provide. The software might also find chords that you have never thought about. What has to be improved here is the sorting mechanism for guitar chords.
> The other functions would be very useful to have, if it worked
Just try running `coltrane` and test it interactively.
Regarding the "Music Theory library" aspect, note that the CLI tool demonstrates use of the underlying Ruby library which has documentation here:
* https://github.com/pedrozath/coltrane/wiki/Core-music-theory...
Additionally, the author wrote a post about the motivation for creating the library but it's a little difficult to find via the (now broken) link in the README, so here is a direct link to the archived page on the Wayback Machine:
* https://web.archive.org/web/20170714063625/https://medium.co...
If anyone is interested in a similar music theory library for Javascript[0] I've had some success with this:
* Tonal / Tonal.js https://github.com/tonaljs/tonal
[0] Or, in a pinch, even with a Godot 4 web export as I did for my (very incomplete) "AI and Games" Game Jam entry: https://rancidbacon.itch.io/the-conductor (For reasons far too convoluted to go into now.)

Genuary 2024: Generative Art / Creative Coding Month
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPYzvS8A_rTYEba_4SDvR...
- Sonic Pi is built on-top of SuperCollider, but it's MUCH easier to get started with making bleeps and bloops. Sam Aaron, who originally created Overtone (a Clojure front-end for SuperCollider) created Sonic Pi initially to teach kids computer programming and music, but now it's turning into a pretty nice live-coding setup. The language is basically a DSL extension of Ruby, and although it's very elegant, I feel like it's a little nerfed in terms of a full language when compared to SCLang, so I'm sticking with the latter for now. High recommend checking it out if you're new to making music or code. https://sonic-pi.net/
- This 'Intro To Live Coding' vid from Alex McLean is great. Gives a good overview of a few fun tools out there that I won't mention here for sake of time (check out Gibber and Hydra for web-based coding things. Gibber is really slick). Alex invented Tidal Cycles, which I feel is like god-tier in terms of power and conciseness. Maybe I'll tinker with Tidal someday, but I want to start with SC.

13 Years of History Teaching - Now Thrown Into CS.
So you’re wondering what would making music with code look like? The tools I’m familiar with are TidalCycles, Sonic Pi, and SuperCollider. I’m having a hard time describing what it’s like to make music with tools like these so here’s a video of a performance. One person is live coding the music and the other is live coding the visuals. I think it’s super cool how the music is improvised and built over time by layering commands. Some keywords you could search to see more examples would be Algorave and Livecoding.
