PyanoMC

PyanoMC - Piano Midi Checker is a program which analyzes a MIDI file and determines if it can be performed on a piano given a set of restrictions.

Dependencies

PyanoMC is made in Python 3 and uses the following libraries:

mido - to manipulate MIDI files

docopt - to handle console arguments

You can install them through pip:

pip install mido docopt

Usage examples

• Determine if the MIDI toho.mid is playable on a standard 88-key piano by a player with 2 hands and 5 fingers on each hand, capable of spanning at least the distance of an octave (7 white notes) with a single hand. Show all warnings and fails:

  pyanomc toho.mid

• Determine if the MIDI black.mid is playable on a standard 61-key keyboard by three octopuses (each having 1 "hand" with 8 "fingers" on each hand), capable of spanning at least the distance of 13 white notes plus a black note with their tentacles. Don't show any warnings, abort on first fail:

  pyanomc black.mid -AW -h 3 -f 8 -s 13.5 -l C2 -r C7

  or using long parameter names

  pyanomc black.mid --abort-on-fail --hide-warnings --hands 3 --fingers 8 --span 13.5 --lowest-key C2 --highest-key C7

Run pyanomc --help for full usage information.

See the "TODO" docstring at the end of pyanomc.py for a list of ideas which I'd like to get implemented at some point.
