Music database home Options in [] I'm working on. |
This is a prototype of a simple browser for our music database; comments and suggestions welcome. In the first (Category) field, select the type of tune required, reels, jigs, hornpipes, waltzes, slip jigs, etc. See the database page for more details. In the next (Mode) field, select one of the following.
In the third (Request) field, the
note browsing options (notes, notesbarstart, notesstart)
require you to specify a note sequence by typing e.g. Type the required sequence of notes in lower case; for major keys, give them as they would appear in the key of C, for minor keys, as they would appear in A minor. The note "b-flat" w.r.t. the key of C is to be typed as "b-", "e-flat" as "e-", "a-flat" as "a-", "d-flat" as "d-", "f-sharp" as "f+", "c-sharp" as "c+", "g-sharp" as "g+" and "d-sharp" as "d+". For options requiring a chord sequence (chords etc) the chord names are in capital letters, e.g.
The last options (title, nearest, etc) require that you name a specific music file (starts lower case, given on the other pages) or type a keyword from a title (starting upper case) or acknowledgement. The "title" options prints out all files containing this keyword. The "nearest" options take the first file with this keyword, and list about 8 stylistically similar tunes. The list starts with the name of the tune being used as the basis of the comparisons. The others are listed in order, closest first. There are many obvious extensions when time permits. Suggestions welcome.
