Development Group: class library / sclang

[prko]

Hello,

I would like to attend the meeting, but it is on Monday 7 August at 2:00 AM here in my local. So I may not be able to attend as I will certainly be asleep at that time.
I will try to attend the meeting, but I would appreciate it if the participants could discuss the classes and methods presented in the following post in case I am not at the meeting:

A class or method to convert integer and float to scientific pitch notation?

@nathan @VIRTUALDOG @smoge Thanks for your valuable opinions. I asked this question to be able to use these classes and methods, if they exist, to create music scores simply by constructing subclasses of the collection class, as introduced in the following post (One problem is that musicXML only seems to support quarter-tones at the moment. This would exclude other microtonal accidentals, although I would like to extend it at least up to sixteenth-tones.): https://scsynth.org/t/musical-notatio…

The methods and classes should be improved, but it seems not bad to discuss their implementation as primitives of sclang as an idea.

I am not sure

• whether SPN should be a subclass of the collection class, or a class under the object class. N.B.: Scientific Pitch Notation is a naming system for pitches that combines pitch class and octave.
• whether PitchClass could be added independently of @josh’s PitchClass. If it could, where should it be? a subclass of the collection class, or should it be a class under the object class?

I hope that SuperCollider users will be able to create musicXML files by simply using some subclasses of the collection class with sclang presented in the following post to further work seamlessly with their preferred notation software, and I think that implementing SPN and PitchClass is the first step towards making the function in this post a class with a method:

Musical Notation in SC using musicXML

I wrote a function that creates a musicXML file when the musical information is written as in example 1. With this, sclang can also easily request a server to play music. I attach this function with 5 examples. Example 3, 4 and 5 also contain how to request a server to play music. The examples below work on my end, but the function should be rewritten whenever other features are added. I would like to know what other users think about such work in SC. 1.

Thanks in advance!
