Getting Started

Installation:

# Using npm
npm install note-art

# Using yarn
yarn add note-art

Usage

Note-art is fully written in TS and offers functions that can achieve any music theory related task you desire.

  • patterns are in semi-tones.
Transpose any pitch class, note or group of notes easily
import { transpose } from 'note-art'

// PitchClass

transpose('A', 5)  // 'D'

// Note

transpose('A3', 5)  // 'D4'

// Group of notes(can represent a chord, scale or anything else)

const notes = ['C3', 'E3', 'G3']

notes.map(note => transpose(note, 7)) // ['G3', 'B3', 'D4'] 
Other functions
import { noteFromFrequency, intervalsToNotes, invertChord };

noteFromFrequency(440) // A4

const majorChordPattern = [0, 4, 7];
const cMajorChord = intervalsToNotes('C3', majorChordPattern) // ['C3', 'E3', 'G3']

const cMajorFirstInversion = invertChord(cMajorChord, 1); // ['E3', 'G3', 'C4']
