Build Status Coverage Status Crates.io Documentation

A library and executable that provides programmatic implementation of the basis of the music theory.

Overview

Rust Music Theory is used to procedurally utilize music theory notions like Note, Chord, Scale, Interval and more. The main purpose of this library is to let music theory be used in other programs and produce music/audio in a programmatic way.

Usage as a Library

Add rust-music-theory as a dependency in your Cargo.toml. toml [dependencies] rust-music-theory = "0.2"

After installing the dependencies, you can use the library as follows. ```rust extern crate rustmusictheory as rustmt; use rustmt::note::{Note, Notes, PitchClass}; use rustmt::scale::{Scale, ScaleType, Mode, Direction}; use rustmt::chord::{Chord, Number as ChordNumber, Quality as ChordQuality};

// to create a Note, specify a pitch class and an octave; let note = Note::new(PitchClass::As, 4);

// Scale Example; let scale = Scale::new( ScaleType::Diatonic, // scale type PitchClass::C, // tonic 4, // octave Some(Mode::Ionian), // scale mode Direction::Ascending, // scale direction ).unwrap();

// returns a Vector of the Notes of the scale let scale_notes = scale.notes();

// Chord Example; let chord = Chord::new(PitchClass::C, ChordQuality::Major, ChordNumber::Triad);

// returns a Vector of the Notes of the chord let chord_notes = chord.notes();

```

This is the simplest form of the usage. For detailed examples, please see the tests folder.

Usage as an Executable

cargo install --git https://github.com/ozankasikci/rust-music-theory

This lets cargo install the library as an executable called rustmt. Some usage examples;

rustmt scale D Locrian yaml Notes: 1: D 2: D# 3: F 4: G 5: G# 6: A# 7: C 8: D rustmt chord C# Dominant Eleventh yaml Notes: 1: C# 2: F 3: G# 4: B 5: D# 6: G

rustmt scale list yaml Available Scales: - Major|Ionian - Minor|Aeolian - Dorian - Phrygian - Lydian - Mixolydian - Locrian - Harmonic Minor - Melodic Minor

rustmt chord list yaml Available chords: - Major Triad - Minor Triad - Suspended2 Triad - Suspended4 Triad - Augmented Triad - Diminished Triad - Major Seventh - Minor Seventh - Augmented Seventh - Augmented Major Seventh - Diminished Seventh - Half Diminished Seventh - Minor Major Seventh - Dominant Seventh - Dominant Ninth - Major Ninth - Dominant Eleventh - Major Eleventh - Minor Eleventh - Dominant Thirteenth - Major Thirteenth - Minor Thirteenth

Building From Source

The binary is implemented as a regex parser cli that returns the notes of the given scale/chord. To quickly build and run the executable locally;

git clone http://github.com/ozankasikci/rust-music-theory && cd rust-music-theory

Then you can directly compile using cargo. An example;

cargo run scale D Locrian yaml Notes: 1: D 2: D# 3: F 4: G 5: G# 6: A# 7: C 8: D
