Introduction

This is what happens when you spend months working in NooJ

so it becomes almost the part of you and everything you do is

think how to make a NooJ grammar that would describe

this and that and everything...

And than you spend days singing to your little daughter and question just pops out:

hmmm – how about NooJ and music?

05.06.2013. 2International NooJ Conference 2013

More questions!

1. Could NooJ read notes?

2. How can we make NooJ read notes?

So what if we make NooJ read notes! What do we do with that?

1. Can we check what notes single composer uses the most?

2. What octave does s/he prefere?

3. Could we compare the music by different composers?

4. Could we discover the musical period the composition is from?

5. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

So... Let me procceed with another question

b’4

Have you ever seen this?


Don’t go away! There are more questions coming up after this slide...

c’4 d’8

And howabout this?


And now something a bit more challenging...

g8_"1/8"[ g g g] s16g16_"1/16"[ g g g] sg32_"1/32"[ s g s g s g] s16


Hmm, does this look familiar?

c4-( d e-) c4-- d-- e-- c4-.-( d-. e-.-) c4-. d-. e-.


How about this one?

NooJ does NOT “read” notes!

1. We code the notes using: letters numbers symbols


Instead of these codes


We get these codes:... \header { title = "Piano Sonate Opus 2 No 1 (1st Movement)" composer = "Ludwig Van Beethoven“ ...}

\score { \new GrandStaff << \new Staff = "up" { \clef treble

\key f \minor \time 4/4 \tempo 4 = 190 \repeat volta 2 { \

partial 4 c'4\p\staccato^\markup { \large \bold "Allegro." } f'\staccato aes'\staccato c''\staccato f''\staccato aes''4.( \times 2/3 { g''16[ f'' e''] } f''4\staccato) r4 g'\staccato c''\staccato e''\staccato g''\staccato bes''4.( \times 2/3 { aes''16[ g'' f''] } g''4\staccato) r4 \acciaccatura c''16 aes''4.\sf( \times 2/3 { g''16[ f'' e''] } f''4\staccato) r4 \acciaccatura c''16 bes''4. ...}

What magic can NooJ do now?


Show me all the notes in 1st octave!


Show me all the notes in 2nd octave!


Show me all the notes in 3rd octave!


Show me all the chords!


Show me all the beams!


Show me all the slurs!


Show me the chords with all equal notes!


Show me the chords with 1st and last equal notes!
