tabr_lilypond_api()).pc() and pn() wrappers since they only should be used on plain character strings or phrase objects.tabr_lilypond_api()).freq_ratio().dplyr 1.0+.freq_ratio() generic for generating a data frame of frequency ratios from frequencies, noteworthy objects, or music objects.tabr LilyPond API details.pitch_freq() documentation error.as_music().bar argument to phrase() (and associated functions) is now NULL by default, or character, rather than simply TRUE or FALSE. If a string is provided, it is interpreted as LilyPond bar notation. E.g., bar = "|" adds the LilyPond syntax \bar "|" to the end of a phrase.TRUE is still accepted and will insert a bar check only rather than a literal bar. FALSE is treated as NULL for completeness.pc() and pn().scale_note().track() function. No more relative transposed keys. Now takes an explicit key argument that overrides the global key from sheet music render functions. Other arguments simplified and rearranged.noteinfo to complement noteworthy and associated functions.music which builds upon the combination of noteworthy and noteinfo, similar in content to phrase but maintaining the structure of the other tabr classes for data manipulation and analysis.c, length, [ and more to be used with special classes available in tabr.noteworthy class.noteworthy objects. For example, time_format.t-prefix, e.g., 4 4] t8 t8- t8^ 4. Support extends to music objects and now also to phrase(), which alleviates reliance on the triplet() function and its limitations.lyrics class that parallels the structure and behavior of the other classes; added associated functions and generic method implementations.lyrics argument support to music object construction and transformations.track* functions to support combining lyrics with an existing phrase object.render_music* functions for making simple sheet music snippets directly from music objects. This abstracts the phrase() |> track() [|> trackbind()] |> score() |> render_*() pipeline from the user for simpler music that is essentially a single voice, single track.plot_music* function wrappers around corresponding render_music* functions to further abstract the external LilyPond process.render_music* and plot_music* functions to automatically handle lyrics contained in a music object.colors argument that takes a named list of color overrides for lilypond() and render_* functions.tuneR installation) and a set of functions for inspecting and manipulating the table of MIDI music data.noteworthy, noteinfo, music and phrase classes so the MIDI data can be analyzed, transformed, edited and rendered to sheet music and a new MIDI file.noteinfo and music objects.from_chorrrds() (for chord output from chorrrds package) and from_music21(), for converting other music notation syntax to tabr syntax.track_* wrapper functions to provide better default track arguments for different instruments and use cases.render_tab() alias to tab() for consistent naming, and other functions render_score() and render_midi() as simpler wrappers around tab() with appropriate fewer arguments and appropriate argument defaults.rests argument to some note metadata functions.-., --, -+, etc. Otherwise spelled out in bracketed text: -. is the same as [staccato]. The break is that the old form of staccato ] is no longer allowed. Switch to -. or [staccato]. The leading - does not cause conflict with the single -, which continues to represent slide notation.s-suffix string numbering. All instances of single string number inputs are assumed starting string and any additional strings are inferred consecutively.plot_fretboard() (renamed from fretboard_plot) and added wrapper function plot_chord() for more convenient chord diagrams.simplify_phrase() and the new (default) argument to lilypond(), simplify = TRUE, which is also used by associated render_* functions.fnord-repeater for several helpful suggestions and insights as well as example code that helped to make the transcription pipeline better.sf_phrase(). Instead of providing the first three function arguments, string, fret and info, separately, you can now provide everything to the first input string as a single character string containing all three components separated by semicolons. This makes it easier to reason about the input by time step rather than by argument.chord_root(), chord_top(), chord_slice(), chord_is_major(), chord_is_minor().pitch_freq(), freq_pitch() and other related functions.no_tab argument to track() allowing for suppression of tab staff when music staff is included, e.g., for vocal tracks.no_tab-associated documentation and unit test updates.dup and glue. Now use pn for repeating phrases n times and pc for concatenating multiple phrases.fretboard_plot for making fretboard diagrams outside of the LilyPond tablature pipeline. This necessitates importing ggplot2.chord_*-named functions and also have shorter x*-named aliases. These are “piano chords,” i.e., based on the condensed, defining intervals.guitarChords dataset containing several thousand formations of guitar chord voicings.guitarChords for obtaining guitar chord information and mapping between different defining properties of a chord, most notably the addition of gc_notes() and gc_fretboard() for mapping chord names to noteworthy strings and fretboard diagram syntax.noteworthy class, used internally, optional for users (includes custom print and summary methods).mainIntervals dataset.phrase object construction).noteworthy class output.transpose() to handle additional edge cases, including a new style option, strip.NA-valued no-chord rests (s or r) were unnamed in output of chord_set().tabrSyntax.as_phrase()..keydata helper table.tabr.tuplet() and triplet() to accept a phrase object as well as a character string of notes. Previously, only notes were accepted but this was too limiting. The argument name has changed to from notes to x and tuplet() will now check the class of x and handle phrase objects accordingly.tuplet().sf_phrase() and sfp() updated to allow returning early with only the notes string as opposed to the entire phrase object. This is useful if you just want a quick, cleaner string representation of what notes are mapped by string/fret combinations..onLoad for non-Windows systems.tibble package dependency.
