Subsequence API reference

Everything subsequence.__all__ lists in this release, grouped by kind, each linked to its entry.

Classes

• Composition - The top-level controller for a musical piece.
• PatternBuilder - The musician's 'palette' for creating musical content.
• Motif - An immutable musical figure: timed note events + control gestures + a length in beats.
• Phrase - A sequence of Motifs with segmentation preserved.
• Degree - A scale degree - 1-based, resolved against key + scale at placement.
• ChordTone - An index into the current chord's tones - 1-based, resolved at placement.
• Approach - A half-step approach into a target pitch at the next chord boundary.
• MotifEvent - One timed note event inside a Motif.
• ControlEvent - One timed control gesture inside a Motif: a discrete write or a shaped ramp.
• Cadence - One cadence formula - a named tail plus its melodic close.
• Section - One section of a form - the payload home.
• Form - A frozen sequence of Sections - the editable, bindable form value.
• Progression - A frozen sequence of ChordSpan - the governing harmony value.
• ChordSpan - One chord with a duration and its decoration - the unit of harmonic time.
• PitchSet - A nameless sonority - a frozen set of absolute MIDI pitches.
• Chord - Represents a chord as a root pitch class and quality.
• Groove - A timing/velocity template applied to quantised grid positions.
• MelodicState - Persistent melodic context that applies NIR scoring to single-note lines.
• Tuning - A microtonal tuning system expressed as cent offsets from the unison.
• Definitions - The name-to-number tables read from a project definitions file.
• PlacedNote - One note read back off a pattern being built - see PatternBuilder.placed().

Functions

• motif - The lowercase shortcut: a melody as 1-based scale degrees.
• sentence - The classical sentence, as a thin combinator - idea, idea, drive, close.
• period - The classical period, as a thin combinator - question, then answer.
• progression - Build a Progression - the lowercase factory.
• parse_chord - Parse a chord name like "Cm7" or "Dbmaj7" into a Chord.
• register_chord_quality - Register a custom chord quality for use everywhere chords are used.
• between - A harmonic rhythm that varies between two lengths (in beats).
• register_scale - Register a custom scale for use with p.snap_to_scale() and scale_pitch_classes().
• scale_notes - Return MIDI note numbers for a scale within a pitch range.
• bank_select - Convert a 14-bit MIDI bank number to (MSB, LSB) for use with p.program_change().
• load_definitions - Load and validate a project definitions file.
• sieve - Xenakis sieve: the sorted integers in [lo, hi) in any of the classes.
• residual_class - A single residual class {x : x % modulus == residue} as a Sieve.
• generators - Describe every generator Subsequence offers, as plain data.
• describe_generator - Describe one generator's parameters as plain data.
• transforms - Describe every transform Subsequence offers, as plain data.
• describe_transform - Describe one transform's parameters as plain data.

Modules

• roles - Role parameter bundles - starting points you splat, not a role API.
