creating note from abc notation about tonal HOT 12 CLOSED

Currently there's no support for abc notation. If you mean convert a note from, for example "c" to "C5", it should be easy to implement using note.build function.

What do you need this for?

I'm trying to computationally parse an abc string it into an object, manipulate it (ie change tones, pitch and etc) using tonal and convert it back into a string.

I've wrote the tonal-abc-notation: http://danigb.github.io/tonal/api/module-abc-notation.html

You can install it using npm. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the reply! How can I use that module in the browser?

from tonal.

You can use a tool that can convert from node modules to browser modules. I think the easiest one is browserify: http://browserify.org/

The other option is to use a tool like budo: https://github.com/mattdesl/budo. It's easier to get started, but after you will need to use browserify or something similar.

Hope it helps.

Thanks! I have Tonal running in the browser but now I'm not able to call functions from it in the console. Any tips?

from tonal.

If you are using the including the file from the dist/ folder, like this: <script src="tonal.min.js"></script>, you can write at the console: Tonal.midi('c4') and it should work.

But abc-notation module is not included in the bundled file. So, to use it, you need to create a file like index.js with something like:

// use the Abc module standalone
const Abc = require("tonal-abc-notation");
console.log(Abc.toAbc("C#4"));

// use it with Tonal
const Tonal = require("tonal");
console.log(Tonal.Scale.notes("Bb major").map(Abc.toAbc));

and then use browserify to create a browser compatible version (and load that file with a <script> tag inside an html file). Hope it helps.

Thanks. As I mentioned I have it bundled using browserify and running in the browser. I just asking if its possible to call functions in the console. If so how? Thanks again!

Yes, I don't know if I get you 😆

You can open a console using the browser's developer tools, and write Tonal.Scale.notes("C major") and you will see the output (an array of notes). This just works.

It doesnt work for me. When I tried to call:

Tonal.Scale.notes("C major")

and I get this error:

VM2704:1 Uncaught ReferenceError: Tonal is not defined
    at <anonymous>:1:1

from tonal.

If you use the tonal.min.js dist file, it works out of the box. If you are transpiling your own sources, you must export the tonal facade inside your code: window.Tonal = Tonal; (and window.Abc = Abc; if you want to use it from the console)

Hope it helps!

That works! Thanks for answering these general JS questions! Can I also ask how you recommend structuring the other vars and functions (that aren't in a class) to access in the same way? I tried using a closure but that didn't work.
