set-palette File: set-palette.lsp Class Hierarchy: named-object -> linked-named-object -> sclist -> circular-sclist -> assoc-list -> recursive-assoc-list -> palette -> set-palette Version: 1.0.0-beta3 Project: slippery chicken (algorithmic composition) Purpose: Implementation of the set-palette class which extends the palette class by simply instantiating the sets given in the palette. Note that the sets in this palette may refer to previously defined sets in order to obviate retyping note lists. Hence the reference to bcl-chord2 in the bcl-chord3 set of the example below will instantiate a set based on a transposed clone of that set previously stored as bcl-chord2.

set-palette/cmn-display [ Methods ]
[ Top ] [ set-palette ] [ Methods ]
DESCRIPTION
Generate printable music notation output (.EPS) of the given set-palette object, including separate notation of the SUBSETS and RELATED-SETS slots, using the Common Music Notation (CMN) interface. The method requires at least the name of the given set-palette object, but has several additional optional arguments for customizing output. NB: Some of the keyword arguments are CMN attributes and share the same name as the CMN feature they effect.
ARGUMENTS
- A set-palette object.
OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS
keyword arguments: - :file. The file path, including the file name, of the file to be generated. - :4stave. T or NIL to indicate whether the note-heads of the output should be printed on 4 staves (or 2). T = 4. Default = NIL. - :text-x-offset. Number (positive or negative) to indicate the horizontal offset of any text in the output. A value of 0.0 results in all text being lined up left-flush with the note-heads below it. Units here and below are relative to CMN staff size. Default = -0.5. - :text-y-offset. Number (positive or negative) to indicate the vertical offset of any text in the output. - :font-size. A number indicating the size of any text font used in the output. This affects text only and not the music (see :size below for changing the size of the music). - :break-line-each-set. T or NIL to indicate whether each set-palette object should be printed on a separate staff or consecutively on the same staff. T = one staff per set-palette object. Default = T. - :line-separation. A number to indicate the amount of white space between lines of music (systems), measured as a factor of the staff height. Default = 3. This is a direct CMN attribute. - :staff-separation. A number to indicate the amount of white space between staves belong to the same system, measured as a factor of the staff height. Default = 3. This is a direct CMN attribute. - :transposition. Nil or a number (positive or negative) to indicate the number of semitones by which the pitches of the given set-palette object should be transposed before generating the CMN output. Default = NIL (0). - :size. A number to indicate the size of the music-font in the CMN output. This affects music only, not text. - :use-octave-signs. T or NIL to indicate whether to automatically insert ottava spanners. Automatic placement depends on the overall pitch content. This is a slippery-chicken process and may produce different results than :automatic-octave-signs, which is a direct CMN process. T = insert octave signs. Default = NIL. - :automatic-octave-signs. T or NIL to indicate whether to automatically insert ottava spanners. Automatic placement depends on the overall pitch content. This is a direct CMN process and may produce different results than :use-octave-signs, which is a slippery-chicken process. T = insert octave signs. Default = NIL. - :include-missing-chromatic. T or NIL to indicate whether to also print any chromatic pitches from the complete-set that are not present in the given set-palette object. T = print. Default = T. - :include-missing-non-chromatic. T or NIL to indicate whether to also print any microtonal pitches from the complete-set that are not present in the given set-palette object. T = print. Default = T.
RETURN VALUE
slippery chicken prints a series of status lines in the listener, and outputs an EPS file.

[ Top ] [ set-palette ] [ Functions ]
DESCRIPTION
Create a set-palette object consisting of sub palette-objects whose pitch content is generated based on ring modulation routines applied to the specified pitches.
ARGUMENTS
- A list of note-name symbols, each of which will serve as the reference pitch from which a new set-palette object is made using the set-palette-from-ring-mod method. - A symbol that will be the ID for the top-level set-palette object. The IDs of the new set-palette objects contained in the top-level object are generated from the note-name symbols of the reference-pitches, with the IDs of the pitch sets contained with them then generated by sequential numbers.
OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS
keyword arguments: - :partials. A list of integers that are the partials which the method is to ring modulate, with 1 being either the reference-note or the bass note that would have the reference-note as the highest partial in the given list. Default = '(1 3 5 7). - :warn-no-bass. T or NIL to indicate whether to issue a warning when ring-mod-bass fails to find suitable bass notes for the generated sets. T = warn. Default = T. - :do-bass. T or NIL to indicate whether to add notes created by the ring-mod-bass function to the resulting set-palette obect. T = create and add bass notes. Default = T. - :remove-octaves. T or NIL to indicate whether to remove the upper instances of any octave-equivalent pitches from the resulting set-palette object. T = remove. Default = NIL. - :min-bass-notes. An integer that is the minimum number of bass notes to be generated and added to the resulting set-palette object. Default = 1. - :ring-mod-bass-octave. An integer that is the MIDI octave reference number (such as the 4 in 'C4), indicating the octave from which the bass note(s) are to be taken.
RETURN VALUE
- A set-palette object (recursive)

[ Top ] [ set-palette ] [ Functions ]
DESCRIPTION
Ring modulate two frequencies and return the resulting pitch and harmonic partials thereof.
ARGUMENTS
- A first pitch, either as a numeric hertz frequencey or a note-name symbol. - A second pitch, either as a numeric hertz frequencey or a note-name symbol. The second value needn't be higher than first.
OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS
keyword arguments - :return-notes. T or NIL to indicate whether to return the results as note-name symbols or frequency numbers. T = note-name symbols. Default = NIL. - :pitch1-partials. An integer that indicates how many harmonic partials of the first pitch are to be included in the modulation. Default = 3. - :pitch2-partials. An integer that indicates how many harmonic partials of the second pitch are to be included in the modulation. Default = 2. - :min-freq. A number that is the the minimum frequency (hertz) that may be returned. Default = 20. - :max-freq. A number that is the the maximum frequency (hertz) that may be returned. Default = 20000. - :round. T or NIL to indicate whether frequency values returned are first rounded to the nearest hertz. T = round. Default = T - :remove-duplicates. T or NIL to indicate whether any duplicate frequencies are to be removed from the resulting list before returning it. T = remove. Default = T. - :print. T or NIL to indicate whether resulting data is to be printed as it is being generated. T = print. Default = NIL. - :remove-octaves. T or NIL to indicate whether octave repetitions of pitches will be removed from the resulting list before returning it, keeping only the lowest instance of each pitch. This argument can also be set as a number or a list of numbers that indicates which octave repetitions will be allowed, the rest being removed. For example, :remove-octaves '(1 2) will remove all octave repetitions of a given pitch except for those that are 1 octave and 2 octaves above the given pitch; thus '(c1 c2 c3 c4 c5) would return '(c1 c2 c3), removing c4 and c5. Default = NIL. - :scale. A variable that indicates which scale to use when converting frequencies to note-names. Default = cm::*scale* i.e. the value to which the Common Music scale is set, which in slippery chicken is *quarter-tone* by default.
RETURN VALUE
A list of note-name symbols or frequencies.

set-palette/ring-mod-bass [ Functions ]
[ Top ] [ set-palette ] [ Functions ]
DESCRIPTION
Using ring-modulation techniques, invent (sensible) bass note(s) from a list of frequencies.
ARGUMENTS
- A list of numbers that are hertz frequencies from which the bass note(s) are to be generated.
OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS
keyword arguments - :bass-octave. An integer that is an octave indicator (e.g. the 4 in 'C4). The method will only return any frequencies/note-names generated that fall in this octave. Default = 0. - :low. A note-name symbol that is the lowest possible pitch of those returned. This argument further restricts the :bass-octave argument. Thus a :bass-octave value of 1 could be further limted to no pitches below :low 'DS1. Default = 'A0. - :high. A note-name symbol that is the highest possible pitch of those returned. This argument further restricts the :bass-octave argument. Thus a :bass-octave value of 1 could be further limted to no pitches above :high 'FS1. Default = 'G3. - :round. T or NIL to indicate whether the frequencies returned are rounded to integer values. T = round. Default = T. - :warn. T or NIL to print a warning when no bass can be created from the specified frequencies/note-names. T = print warning. Default = T. - :return-notes. T or NIL to indicate whether the resulting pitches should be returned as note-names instead of frequencies. T = return as note-names. Default = NIL. - :scale. A variable pointing to the scale to which any translation of frequencies into note-names symbols should take place. By default this value is set to cm::*scale*, which is automatically set by slippery chicken to 'quarter-tone at initilisation. To return e.g. pitches rounded to chromatic note-names set this argument to cm::*chromatic-scale*.
RETURN VALUE
Returns a list of frequencies by default. Setting the :return-notes keyword argument to T will cause the method to return note-name symbols instead.

set-palette/set-palette-from-ring-mod [ Functions ]
[ Top ] [ set-palette ] [ Functions ]
DESCRIPTION
Create a new set-palette object from the pitches returned by applying ring modulation procedures (difference and sum tones of partials).
ARGUMENTS
- A note-name symbol that is the central pitch from which we perform the ring-modulation. See :partials below. - A symbol that is to be the ID for the new set-palette object.
OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS
keyword arguments - :partials. A list of integers that are the partials which the method uses to ring modulate. We create partials ascending from the reference-note but also ascending from a fundamental calculated so that reference-note would be the highest partial in the partials list. E.g. if reference-note were 'a4 (440Hz) and :partials was '(1 2) we'd have partial frequencies of 440 and 880, as these are the ascending partials 1 and 2 from 440, but also have 220, as that is the fundamental for which 440 would be the highest partial out of (1 2). Default = '(1 3 5 7). - :warn-no-bass. T or NIL to indicate whether to issue a warning when ring-mod-bass fails to find suitable bass notes for the generated sets. T = warn. Default = T. - :do-bass. T or NIL to indicate whether to add notes created by the ring-mod-bass function to the resulting set-palette object. T = create and add bass notes. Default = T. - :remove-octaves. T or NIL to indicate whether to remove the upper instances of any octave-equivalent pitches from the resulting set-palette object. T = remove. Default = NIL. - :min-bass-notes. An integer that is the minimum number of bass notes to be generated and added to the resulting set-palette object. Default = 1. - :ring-mod-bass-octave. An integer that is the MIDI octave reference number (such as the 4 in 'C4), indicating the octave from which the bass note(s) are to be taken.
RETURN VALUE
A set-palette object.
