Ian Ring's website The Exciting Universe of Music Theory is a
comprehensive and useful compilation of information about pitch-class
sets in twelve-tone equal temperament. It tracks many properties that
musicMCT is unlikely to duplicate, so this function opens the corresponding
page for a pc-set in your browser. This only works for sets in 12-edo which
include pitch-class 0.
Arguments
- set
Numeric vector of pitch-classes in the set
Value
Invisibly, the integer which Ring's site uses to index the
input set. The main purpose of the function is its side effect of
opening a page of Ring's site in a browser.
Examples
c_major <- c(0, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11)
c_major_value <- ianring(c_major)
print(c_major_value)
#> [1] 2741
# And indeed you should find information about the major scale
# at https://ianring.com/musictheory/scales/2741
if (FALSE) { # interactive()
ianring(c(0, 2, 3, 7, 8))
}
