How to add custom music sheets.

If you can write music sheets in digit-sheets (For examples see this repo), you can use the atom-code-music:convert command or Ctrl + Alt + m c to convert it into coffeescript/javascript/cson/json array music sheet, which is used to record built-in music sheets.

First write correct digit-sheets with following syntax:

  • 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 is C, D, E, F, G, A, B, and use # but never use b, for example: #1 means #C or bD (However the timbre javascript uses Db).

  • (bass): Keys in one octave below the middle C (C3 - B3) must be surrounded by ( and ).

  • middle: Keys in one octave above the middle C (C4 - B4) have nothing except the digit.

  • [treble]： Keys in two octaves above the middle C (C5 - B5) must be surrounded by [ and ].

  • {double-treble}: Keys in three octaves above the middle C (C6 - B6) must be surrounded by { and }.

  • <chord-note1 chord-note2 ...>: All notes for a chord must be surrounded with < and >.

For example:

Solmization Expression
C3 (1)
Ab3 (#5)
F4 4
E5 [3]
Bb6 {#6}
C5 G5 [15] or [1][5]
C3 & E4 & Ab5 chord <(1)3[#5]>

Warning:

  1. Only < > can be mixed in to the other three brackets, or it will trigger an error.

  2. In digit-sheets only # is acceptable, no b, and never let a # control many digits, in other words, (#1#2#5) is okay but #(125) causes an error.

  3. Do not use cross-line brackets, you'd better to close and reopen a pair of brackets at line end/beginning to prevent strange error. (Here line is soft warp in Atom, not hard warp in file.)(MAYBE FIXED BY NEW CONVENTER IN V2.3.5.)

Usage:

  1. Open your digit-sheets, then use command atom-code-music:convert or press Ctrl + Alt + m c, it will open a untitled buffer and convert it into a coffeescript/javascript array music sheet.

  2. Save the array sheet with .coffee or .js. Add the saved file path into Settings -> Packages -> atom-code-music -> Custom Sheets.
