What is this?

This is a (very) modest score visualizer built during the Karajan/MIT classical music hackathon, Oct. 2016.

Though it was made in well under 24 hours, it took me well over 8 months to get around to making it available somewhere.

Disclaimer: I've left the code completely as it was when presented; I even resisted the urge to remove the inexplicable trailing whitespace.

Who made this?

Ian C., Lisa K., Josie T., Alice

How can I use this?

• Install pygame and music21 (version 3.1.0).
• Get a score in MusicXML format from somewhere. The MuseScore site is a good resource.
• Run like python visual.py sonata.xml 124 -0.5. The second arg is the tempo (in bpm); the third is an offset (in seconds) that you'll probably need to tweak to sync the visuals with the audio. (This invocation works well for this score.)
