# PyTheory: Music Theory for Humans
This (work in progress) library attempts to make exploring music theory approachable to humans.
## True Scale -> Pitch Evaluation
```pycon
>>> from pytheory import TonedScale
>>> c_minor = TonedScale(tonic='C4')['minor']
>>> c_minor
>>> c_minor[0].pitch()
523.251130601197
>>> c_minor["I"].pitch(symbolic=True)
440*2**(1/4)
>>> c_minor["tonic"].pitch(temperament='pythagorean', symbolic=True)
14080/27
```
## Audibly play a note (or chord)
>>> from pytheory import play
play(c_minor[0], t=1_000)
## Chord Fingerings for Custom Tunings
```pycon
>>> from pytheory import Tone, Fretboard, CHARTS
>>> tones = (
... Tone.from_string("F2"),
... Tone.from_string("C3"),
... Tone.from_string("G3"),
... Tone.from_string("D4"),
... Tone.from_string("A5"),
... Tone.from_string("E5")
... )
>>> fretboard = Fretboard(tones=tones)
>>>
>>> c_chord = CHARTS['western']["C"]
>>> print(c_chord.fingering(fretboard=fretboard))
(0, 0, 0, 3, 3, 3)
```
It can also [generate charts for all known chords](https://gist.github.com/kennethreitz/b363660145064fc330c206294cff92fc) for any instrument (accuracy to be determined!).
