Module musedata 

MuseData, the Center for Computer Assisted Research in the Humanities’ encoding: music21’s musedata and musedata.translate.

A MuseData file holds one part or several, each ended by a /END line, and a work is usually a file per part. from_musedata reads the files of a work into a score of a part each. Both of the encoding’s stages are read: stage 2, with its $ attribute records and its columns for beams, accidentals, notations and lyrics, and the older stage 1.

Modules

base40

Walter Hewlett’s base-40 pitch numbers: music21’s musedata.base40.

base12_26

The base-12 and base-26 orders of Hewlett’s system, which music21’s musedata.base12_26 keeps as tables only: base 12 numbers the natural notes of the twelve semitones, base 26 every letter with one flat or sharp.

Functions

from_musedata

Reads the files of a MuseData work, in order, into a score, as music21’s converter.parse reads a work’s directory or a single file.
