# Setup
Install dependencies:
```sh
brew install portaudio
pip install pyaudio
```
# Notes
To install all the notes, it is easiest to include the whole library.
```python
from Musickal import *
```
Here is a reference to the notes we allow for (arranged to match the 4th octave
on the piano):
```
Db Eb Gb Ab Bb
C D E F G A B
```
Note that half steps are annotated as flats instead of sharps. This is because `#`
is reserved in python for comments, where `b` is simply a letter.
To specify an octave of a note, postfix it with the octave number:
```
... Db3 Eb3 Gb3 Ab3 Bb3 Db4 Eb4 Gb4 Ab4 Bb4 ...
C3 D3 E3 F3 G3 A3 B3 C4 D4 E4 F4 G4 A4 B4
```
# Play the audio
Here is an example of how to play notes:
```python
from Musickal import *
m = Musickal()
duration = .25
m.playSong([
(B, duration),
(A, duration),
(D, duration),
(C, duration),
(A, duration),
(F, duration),
(E, duration)
])
```
