Create (musical) note ranges
npm install @tonaljs/range@tonaljs/range is a collection of functions to create note ranges
ES6:
``js`
import { Range } from "tonal";
nodejs:
`js`
const { Range } = require("tonal");
Single module:
`js`
import Range from "@tonaljs/range";
Create a numeric (midi) range. You supply a list of notes or numbers (peaks and valleys) and they will be connected to create complex ranges.
Arguments can be note names or midi numbers, ranges can be ascending or descending.
`js`
Range.numeric([10, 5]); // => [ 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 ]
Range.numeric([-5, 5]); // => [-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Range.numeric(["C5", "C4"]); // => [ 72, 71, 70, 69, 68, 67, 66, 65, 64, 63, 62, 61, 60 ]
Range.numeric(["C4", "E4", "Bb3"]); // => [60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58]
Create a range of chromatic notes. The same as numeric but the result will be note names instead of midi numbers.
The optional options object defines how note names are built:
- sharps: if true sharps will be used in altered notes. Default is falsetrue
- pitchClass: if octaves are omitted. Default is false
`js``
Range.chromatic(["C2", "E2", "D2"]);
// => ["C2", "Db2", "D2", "Eb2", "E2", "Eb2", "D2"]
Range.chromatic(["C2", "C3"], { sharps: true });
// => [ "C2", "C#2", "D2", "D#2", "E2", "F2", "F#2", "G2", "G#2", "A2", "A#2", "B2", "C3" ]
