scamp.score.NoteLike

class scamp.score.NoteLike(pitch: Optional[Union[expenvelope.envelope.Envelope, float, Tuple]], written_length: float, properties: scamp.note_properties.NoteProperties)

Bases: scamp.score.ScoreComponent

Represents a note, chord, or rest that can be notated without ties

Parameters

• pitch – float if single pitch, Envelope if a glissando, tuple if a chord, None if a rest

• written_length – the notated length of the note, disregarding any tuplets it is part of

• properties – a properties dictionary, same as found in a PerformanceNote

Variables

• pitch – float if single pitch, Envelope if a glissando, tuple if a chord, None if a rest

• written_length – the notated length of the note, disregarding any tuplets it is part of

• properties – a properties dictionary, same as found in a PerformanceNote

Methods

average_pitch()	Averages the pitch of this note, accounting for if it’s a glissando or a chord
does_glissando()	Returns whether or not this does a glissando.
is_chord()	Returns whether or not this is a chord.
is_rest()	Returns whether or not this is a rest.
merge_with(other)	Merges other into this note, adding its length and combining its articulations
source_id()	ID representing the original PerformanceNote that this came from.
to_music_xml([source_id_dict])	Convert this score component to its corresponding pymusicxml component

Inherited Methods

export_lilypond(file_path)	Convert and wrap as a LilyPond (.ly) file, and save to the given path.
export_music_xml(file_path[, pretty_print])	Convert and wrap as a MusicXML score, and save to the given path.
print_lilypond([wrap_as_file])	Convert and print LilyPond code.
print_music_xml([pretty_print])	Convert and wrap as a MusicXML score, and print the resulting XML.
show()	Using the abjad.show command, generates and opens a PDF of the music represented by this component
show_xml()	Convert and wrap as a MusicXML score, and open it up in notation software.
to_abjad()	Convert this score component to its corresponding abjad component
to_abjad_lilypond_file()	Convert and wrap as a abjad.LilyPondFile object
to_lilypond([wrap_as_file])	Convert to LilyPond code.

is_rest() → bool

Returns whether or not this is a rest.

is_chord() → bool

Returns whether or not this is a chord.

does_glissando()

Returns whether or not this does a glissando.

average_pitch() → float

Averages the pitch of this note, accounting for if it’s a glissando or a chord

Returns

the averaged pitch as a float

merge_with(other: scamp.score.NoteLike) → scamp.score.NoteLike

Merges other into this note, adding its length and combining its articulations

Parameters

other – another NoteLike

Returns

self, having been merged with other

to_music_xml(source_id_dict=None) → Sequence[pymusicxml.music_xml_objects._XMLNote]

Convert this score component to its corresponding pymusicxml component

source_id() → Optional[int]

ID representing the original PerformanceNote that this came from. Since PerformanceNotes are split up into tied segments, we need to keep track of which ones belonged together so that we can rejoin them with ties, glissandi, etc. (This is done via _join_same_source_abjad_note_group or _join_same_source_xml_note_group)

export_lilypond(file_path) → None

Convert and wrap as a LilyPond (.ly) file, and save to the given path.

Parameters

file_path – file path to save to

export_music_xml(file_path: str, pretty_print: bool = True) → None

Convert and wrap as a MusicXML score, and save to the given path.

Parameters

• file_path – file path to save to

• pretty_print – whether or not to take the extra space and format the file with indentations, etc.

print_lilypond(wrap_as_file=False) → None

Convert and print LilyPond code.

Parameters

wrap_as_file – if True, wraps this object up as a full LilyPond file, ready for compilation. If False, we just get the code for the component itself.

print_music_xml(pretty_print: bool = True) → None

Convert and wrap as a MusicXML score, and print the resulting XML.

Parameters

pretty_print – whether or not to take the extra space and format the file with indentations, etc.

show() → None

Using the abjad.show command, generates and opens a PDF of the music represented by this component

show_xml() → None

Convert and wrap as a MusicXML score, and open it up in notation software. (The software to use is defined in engraving_settings.show_music_xml_command_line.)

to_abjad() → abjad.core.Component.Component

Convert this score component to its corresponding abjad component

to_abjad_lilypond_file() → abjad.lilypondfile.LilyPondFile.LilyPondFile

Convert and wrap as a abjad.LilyPondFile object

to_lilypond(wrap_as_file=False) → str

Convert to LilyPond code.

Parameters

wrap_as_file – if True, wraps this object up as a full LilyPond file, ready for compilation. If False, we just get the code for the component itself.

Returns

a string containing the LilyPond code
