symbols
Ready-made percussion tones, and the palettes of tones meaningful for a class of instrument.
from openmusickit.systems.wsmn.percussion.symbols import *A tone abstracts over instruments: high_open is the same value on congas, bongos or a djembe pair, and the PercussionPart says which. A palette is a ToneCollection, ordered low to high and then by stroke, with hit (a plain PercussionTone()) in every one; it is a curated vocabulary a PercussionPart may carry, not a type, and core never checks a tone against it. The names in brackets in each palette’s gloss are the instruments a Part named that way would use it for.
Examples
>>> hit
PercussionTone()
>>> high_open, f"{high_open}"
(PercussionTone(relative_pitch=RelativePitch.HIGH, stroke=Stroke.OPEN), 'high open')
>>> open_hat is open_hand # one tone, two names, for two kinds of instrument
True
>>> hit in hand_drums, high_slap in hand_drums, rim_shot in hand_drums
(True, True, False)
>>> hi_hats.name, len(hi_hats)
('hi-hat', 8)
