Hello,
what is the most practical way to "lay out" a tune in CM?
Do you just type a series of send("mp:midi"...)s in your code, with one send per note?
Is there a pattern which allows you to simply play a series of notes, as opposed to making cycles, etc?
For instance, here's how I would transcribe the beginning of Gaspar Sanz's Jacaras:
begin
send("mp:midi", key: key("d3"), dur: .5)
send("mp:midi", key: key("d4"), dur: 1)
send("mp:midi", key: key("f4"), dur: 1)
...
end
where .5 notes are quarter notes, and 1 notes are half notes.
Is that efficient?
Furthermore, in the CM documentation, the notes function is described as
"Return[ing] the note (string) of ref, which can be a note, key
or list of the same. A note name consists of a pitch class letter
(c d e f
g a b), an optional sharp or
flat letter (s f) an optional quarter tone
inflection (< or >)..."
What exactly is a "quarter note inflection"?
Many thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Philippe
