js-harmony

js-harmony library is a set of musical related methods and definitions, dessigned to generate Notes, Intervals, Chords and Scales. It provides some custom Objects types, and validations functions. The supported structures and types are are the following :

• Intervals : 'dim' | 'm' | 'P' | 'M' | 'aug'
• Chords : 'major' | 'minor' | 'dim' | 'aug' | 'max7'| 'm7' | '7' | 'semidim'
• Major Scales : 'ionian'
• Minor Scales : 'aeolian' | 'harmonic' | 'bachian' | 'melodic'
• Modes: 'ionian' | 'dorian' | 'phrygian' | 'lydian' | 'mixolydian' | 'aeolian' | 'locrian'

Usage :

All the available methods of the library underlie on the main JSHarmony Object. (Note: the JSHarmony.makeNote() method could be considered the starting point of most of the interactions with the Library)

var cNote = JSHarmony.makeNote("C##8");
/* OUTPUT -> 
Note{
  name: "C", 
  accidentals: ["#" , "#"], 
  octave: 8, 
  duration: 1
}
*/

var cMinorChord = JSHarmony.makeChord(cNote, "minor");
/* OUTPUT -> 
Chord{
  type : "minor",
  notes: [
    Note{ name:"C", accidentals:["#", "#"], octave:"8", duration:1 },
    Note{ name:"E", accidentals:["#"], octave:"8", duration:1 },
    Note{ name:"G", accidentals:["#", "#"], octave:"8", duration:1 }
  ]
}
*/

Constructors:

Will return an Object containing the requested Item

• makeNote : ƒ (noteName)
• makeChord : ƒ (rootNote, type)
• makeChordFromGrade : ƒ (tonallityRootNote,grade,mode,triad_FLAG)
• makeInterval : ƒ (grade, quality, direction, rootNote)
• makeIntervalNote : ƒ (grade , quality, direction, rootNote)
• makeScale : ƒ (mode,name,rootNote)
• getChordTypeFromGrade : ƒ (grade,mode,triad_FLAG)
• getGradeMode : ƒ (grade,mode)

Validators:

Will help to identify or check some qualities or types about the provided items

• isAccidentalsArray : ƒ (array)
• isChordName : ƒ (chordName)
• isMode : ƒ (mode)
• isNote : ƒ (noteObj)
• isNoteArray : ƒ (array)
• isNoteName : ƒ (note)

Definitions :

Some internal musical definitions, structures, and academic standards and conventions

• def : {scale: {…}, accidentals: {…}, intervals: {…}, scales: {…}, modes: {…}, …}

Misc :

Many general prupose methods, and randomizers.

• objType : ƒ (obj)
• randomChord : ƒ (root,type)
• randomKey : ƒ (array)
• randomNote : ƒ (name, accidentals, octave)
• scaleExist : ƒ (mode,scale)
• toNotesArray : ƒ (notesHandler)
