gpcsets: Pitch Class Sets for Haskell
Bruce H. McCosar
This is the first-ever release for my General Pitch Class Sets library.
It's still being built. Right now I have 1 out of 5 modules complete.
However, the one module that's complete is the main module, and it has
been subjected to an enormous amount of test code (frightening, really).
Places to find out more information
===================================
* http://code.google.com/p/pcsets/
Pitch Class Sets for Python. The original. Only handles 12-TET.
I've got links to online Pitch Class Set references there, in case
you're new to all this.
* http://bmccosar.wordpress.com/
My Wordpress Music blog. Until I get the gpcsets library in final form,
this is the spot to find out information about upcoming releases and
current work on this project.
Features of this Package
========================
* Data.PcSets is complete. It's fully documented through Literate Haskell
AND through Haddock.
* There's an enormous test suite in test/Test/PcSets.lhs
* Future modules are planned: Svg, for Scalar Vector Graphics representation
of pitch class sets; Notes, for standard representations of pitch class
sets (eg "C E G B" instead of [0,4,7,11]); Compact for the "compact format"
representation of pitch class sets (eg 047B instead of "C E G B"); and
Catalog for calculating prime set catalogs in different modulus systems.
* The skeletons of the other modules and test suites are there. Most of
the code is written, and just needs ported from my earlier versions (which
didn't use the Haskell class system) to the modern version.
Release Schedule
================
This is still a work in progress. I'm planning on releasing this series (and
any bug fixes) as 0.9.0.x. Each module I add thereafter will increase the
third number by one, eg 0.9.1.x. Therefore, if I finish four new modules
and four new test suites, I should end up at 0.9.8.x. When all of the smoke
clears and the entire library has been tested, tested, and retested, I'll
call it "stable" and put it out there as 1.0.0.
