Parse

Meantonal provides some classes to parse to and from common formats:

• SPN handles Scientific Pitch Notation
• LilyPond handles LilyPond strings.
• Helmholtz handles Helmholtz Pitch Notation.
• ABC handles ABC notation.

Each provides static toPitch and fromPitch methods to convert between strings and Pitch vectors.

Using SPN, here’s an example usage:

let p = SPN.toPitch("C#4");

SPN.fromPitch(p); // "C#4");

Note

These helper classes are not robust enough to be used to parse LilyPond or ABC files directly. They are just for enterring and printing Pitch names in familiar formats.
