that is a neat idea, I'm a bit concerned about the command line options becoming too contrived in order to handle such a high degree of precision. I will defintly keep it in mind though
Thanks for your input. The bestia library I created waaaay before I even started working on kord so at this point I just go with it since I know the API in and out. I'm sure there are other libraries out there doing the same thing better but hey, this one is mine. :)
As for the .json files I thought they would be a good way for non-developer end users to deal with their self created tunings without having to mess with the code itself.
Thanks for the links to the projects, I will try to take a look at them.
I'm a self taught programmer who would like to share my fretboard visualization tool to any musicians/developers out there.
It takes a root note and a scale/chord type as input and outputs a visual representation of your instrument's fretboard on your terminal along with the positions of corresponding notes.
The tool supports several scales, modes, chords, instruments and tunings.
Try running it with --help to get you started.
The fretboard.py application is actually part of the larger kord music framework I wrote.
It's a PyPI package that allows to do music theory stuff... feel free to read the kord documentation if you want to know more.
If you are only interested in the fretboard tool, just scroll to the end of the README. :)
As the kord project grew in complexity I found myself lacking the time to complete it and ATM it's still a bit rough around the edges.
The fretboard.py app is a tool that I regularly use and find extremely useful and I thought it would be cool to share it with the world.
I am creating this thread in the hope of:
* letting other players make use of the fretboard tool
* gathering feedback from programmers on my coding
* gathering feedback from musicians on the music theory behind it
* allowing collaboration if anyone is interested
this looks nice but after going thru the first part, I just noticed that the book is not only unfinished but also seems like the author may not be paying attention to it anymore... last blog post is over a year ago. Too bad.
