Wrangle notes with Meantonal
A low-level library for representing pitch in Western music.
Flexible representation
Easily ingest and translate between Scientific Pitch Notation, Helmholtz notation, ABC and Lilypond. Extract MIDI values at any time.
Spelling matters
C♯ and D♭ are different notes. A major third and a diminished fourth are different intervals. Meantonal is semantically nondestructive.
It's just vectors
Under the hood pitches and intervals are 2d vectors. Operations are simple to understand, composable and fast to execute.
Tuning-agnostic
Target any meantone tuning system, not just 12-tone equal temperament. You want 31 tones per octave? Done.
