Play music notes like a piano while coding in Atom.
Ctrl + Alt + m t or use command atom-code-music:toggle to toggle.
Default is Music Box Mode, you can also switch to Real Piano Mode in Settings.
You can also choose timbre (Piano/Marimba) in Settings. But it will use timbre in sheets first, only when timbre in sheets is "" it will load chosen timbre.
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, 7isC, D, E, F, G, A, B, and use#but never useb, for example:#1means#CorbD(However the timbre javascript usesDb). -
(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:
-
Only
<>can be mixed in to the other three brackets, or it will trigger an error. -
In digit-sheets only
#is acceptable, nob, and never let a#control many digits, in other words,(#1#2#5)is okay but#(125)causes an error. -
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:
-
Open your digit-sheets, then use command
atom-code-music:convertor pressCtrl+Alt+mc, it will open a untitled buffer and convert it into a coffeescript/javascript array music sheet. -
Save the array sheet with
.coffeeor.js. Add the saved file path intoSettings -> Packages -> atom-code-music -> Custom Sheets.
