To practise sight reading, sometimes I need to develop certain skills specifically. This usually ends up crawling the web for "2/4 C major with no accidentals and some chords for the left hand" or "3/4 D minor with some accidentals but no chords". To not waste my time, I created Etudka. The difference between human-composed etudes is that you can tell the program what characteristics to use, such as a key, time signature, individual notes and so on.
The downside is that it can only generate simple patterns. In future, I am planning to enrich it with repetitions, proper fingering, ledger lines, rests, and more.
(Tested on GNU/Linux only.)
$ git clone https://github.com/Hirrolot/etudka.git
$ cd etudka
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ sudo apt install lilypond python3-tk
$ python3 main.py
The key signature in which to generate an etude. Conforms to LilyPond's key signatures.
They time signature in which to generate an etude. Conforms to LilyPond's time signatures.
Just a list of notes that can be generated. At least one note should be turned on (but it makes sense to enable two or more).
Enable/disable flats, sharps, and natural accidentals.
Treble/Bass Individual Notes-- generate individual notes on the treble/bass staff.Treble/Bass Chords-- generate chords on the treble/bass staff.
