API

solfege exports the following:

Property: syllables

A hash map of solfège syllables to meta-data, which includes:

  • degree (number): the associated scale degree (movable do)
  • alter (number): the associated pitch alteration (movable do)
  • abs (number): the absolute pitch of the syllable (fixed do)

Method: syllable(input)

Idempotent conversion of a string syllable into an object.

  • input: string syllable, such as "sol", or an object representing a syllable.

Returns: an object representing the syllable.

Example

> solfege.syllable('sol')
{ alter: 0, degree: 5, abs: 7 }

Method: moveUp(current, target)

Go up to the target syllable, and return the pitch difference.

  • current (syllable): the current syllable
  • target (syllable): the target syllable

Returns: the pitch difference (number) to add to the current pitch.

Example

> solfege.moveUp('sol', 'do');
5

Method: moveDown(current, target)

Go down to the target syllable, and return the pitch difference.

  • current (syllable): the current syllable
  • target (syllable): the target syllable

Returns: the pitch difference (number) to add to the current pitch.

Example

> solfege.moveDown('sol', 'do');
-7

Method: moveTo(current, target)

Find the nearest target syllable (by interval comparison), and return the pitch difference.

  • current (syllable): the current syllable
  • target (syllable): the target syllable

Returns: the pitch difference (number) to add to the current pitch.

Example

> solfege.moveTo('ti', 'do');
1

Method: getInterval(current, target)

Get the interval between current and target syllables.

  • current (syllable): the current syllable
  • target (syllable): the target syllable

Returns: the interval (number)

Example

> solfege.getInterval('do', 'ti');
7

Method: invertInterval(interval)

Inverts the interval.

  • interval (number): the interval to invert

Returns: the inverted interval (number)

Example

> solfege.invertInterval(6);
3
