Twitch Plays Music

(inspired by TwitchPlaysPokemon and made with TwitchPlaysX)

Sends live Twitch chat into a Python script, generating on-the-fly sheet music with MuseScore.

This uses the IRC from a Twitch channel, processes it with music21, and outputs with MuseScore.

Tested on Mac, and should also work on Linux machines. Probably works on Windows machines.

Installation (node, etc)
