Twelve-tone matrix to generate dodecaphonic melodies.

.. image:: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/77/Schoenberg_-_Piano_Piece_op.33a_tone_row.png/640px-Schoenberg_-_Piano_Piece_op.33a_tone_row.png

Following a process created by the composer Arnold Schoenberg, this library

computes a matrix to create twelve-tone serialism melodies which compose each

of the 12 semitones of the chromatic scale with equal importance.

* Save your compositions to MIDI

* Free software: BSD license

Installation

============

::

    pip install twelve-tone

The `GuixRUs `_ channel also provides ``twelve-tone``.

Quick Start

===========

You can quickly generate a random twelve-tone melody with the CLI

::

    $ twelve-tone

    ['C# / Db', 'A# / Bb', 'F', 'D', 'G# / Ab', 'D# / Eb', 'F# / Gb',

        'A', 'C', 'G', 'B', 'E']

Or you can use the following methods in a script:

::

    >>> from twelve_tone.composer import Composer

    >>> c = Composer()

    >>> c.compose()

    >>> c.get_melody()

    ['C# / Db', 'A# / Bb', 'F', 'D', 'G# / Ab', 'D# / Eb', 'F# / Gb',

        'A', 'C', 'G', 'B', 'E']

After you have composed a matrix of tone rows, you can save the composition to

MIDI:

::

    >>> c.compose()

    >>> c.save_to_midi(filename='TWELVE_TONE.mid')

The new MIDI file will be created in your current working directory. If you do

not specify a `filename` for your file, it will default to `example.mid`.

Development

===========

To run the all tests run::

    tox

Note, to combine the coverage data from all the tox environments run:

.. list-table::

    :widths: 10 90

    - - Windows

      - ::

            set PYTEST_ADDOPTS=--cov-append

            tox

    - - Other
