## Quick start
## pip install musicntwrk
or
## pip install musicntwrk[with_MPI]
(if there is a pre-existing installation of MPI, pip will automatically install the mpi4pi wrapper)
- [OR download the latest release from GitHub](https://github.com/marcobn/musicntwrk/)
- Clone the repo: `git clone https://github.com/marcobn/musicntwrk.git`
- cd musicntwrk-2.0
- pip install .
## - [Examples and support files can be downloaded here](https://github.com/marcobn/musicntwrk/tree/master/musicntwrk-2.0/examples)
There are three example notebooks: basic, advanced harmony, advanced timbre. See the ipynb files for a full description.
## What's included
**musicntwrk** is a project written for python 3 and comprised of a main module, `musicntwrk`, and many additional helper packages included in the distribution:
- `musicntwrk` - is the main module and contains helper clasess for pitch class set classification and manipulation in any arbitrary temperament (PCSet, PCSetR and PCSrow), and the main class musicntwrk that allows the construction of generalized musical space networks using distances between common descriptors (interval vectors, voice leadings, rhythm distance, etc.); the analysis of scores, the sonification of data and the generation of compositional frameworks. `musicntwrk` acts as a wrapper for the various functions organized in the following sub projects:
- `networks` - contains all the modules to construct dictionaries and networks of pitch class set spaces including voice leading, rhythmic spaces, timbral spaces and score network and orchestarion analysis
- `data` - sonification of arbitrary data structures, including automatic score (musicxml) and MIDI generation
- `timbre` - analysis and characterization of timbre from a (psycho-)acoustical point of view. In particular, it provides: the characterization of sound using, among others, Mel Frequency or Power Spectrum Cepstrum Coefficients (MFCC or PSCC); the construction of timbral networks using descriptors based on MF- or PS-CCs
- `harmony` - helper functions for harmonic analysis, design and autonomous scoring
- `ml_utils` - machine learning models for timbre recognition through the TensorFlow Keras framework
- `plotting` - plotting function including a module for automated network drawing
- `utils` - utility functions used by other modules

The most computationally intensive parts of the modules can be run on parallel processors using the MPI (Message Passing Interface) protocol. Communications are handled by two additional modules: `communications` and `load_balancing`. Since the user will never have to interact with these modules, we omit here a detailed description of their functions.
