Coltrane: A music theory library with a command-line interface
> abstracts certain music related objects (scales, chords)
I've been thinking about that again recently & attempting to resist both creating such an abstraction and re-inventing the wheel. :)
The first format that came to mind for its cross-language potential was essentially "Music Theory expressed in JSON format".
Yesterday I did another search for what current options there might be and after a very circuitous path ended up on an old version of the Tonal Javascript library I've already been using. :D
Specifically:
* https://github.com/Cycling74/node-music-theory/blob/518babe7...
* https://github.com/Cycling74/node-music-theory/blob/518babe7...
But the next abstraction level of associated "operations" (as documented by e.g. https://github.com/Cycling74/node-music-theory/blob/518babe7...) are still expressed in Javascript.
My impression is that there are a few tensions that complicate the creation of a "universal" cross-language/tool solution:
* Static vs dynamic storage/representation. e.g. Do you statically store the set of notes in a scale or store the intervals & the operation(s) needed to generate the result dynamically? e.g. https://github.com/Cycling74/node-music-theory/blob/518babe7...
* Reuse vs reinvention (time taken): When starting out it seems the amount of Music Theory most people want to use & have encoded is quite small. So initially the time required to "re-invent the wheel" is quite small vs time required to find & use a common shared abstraction.
* Reuse vs reinvention (knowledge gained): I know, for me, part of the motivation related to re-inventing the wheel is I also want to learn aspects Music Theory so I can understand/apply the knowledge in potentially non-programmatic contexts also.
I do think there is value in having the knowledge encoded in some manner so it's at least available for re-use for those who want it.
