An Open-Source application for the study of music theory and keyboard skills that takes input from a MIDI keyboard and outputs staff notation. Various analytical vocabularies of melody and harmony are represented. As a practice aid and exercise platform that operates across aural, visual, and tactile domains, this tool accelerates the acquisition of fluency in certain fundamentals of tonal music.

• Requires Python 2.7.x and Pip to install.
• To install Pip, see their instructions.

$ git clone git@github.com:ospreyelm/HarmonyLab.git harmony
$ cd harmony
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ ./manage.py runserver

You should now be able to run the application on your localhost at http://127.0.0.1:8000.

Chrome is currently the only browser supported, being the single browser that implements the WebMIDI specification.

This application can be deployed to any platform that supports python and django. One such example is heroku, a cloud platform as a service provider, which makes it easy to deploy changes directly from the git repository.

Read the Getting Started on Heroku with Python instructions to get an idea of how it works. You will need to setup an account login and then create an "app".

The required Config Variables that should be added on the app settings page are as follows:

SECRET_KEY = YOUR_RANDOM_LONG_PASSWORD
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE = harmony.settings.heroku
LTI_OAUTH_CREDENTIALS = {"harmonykey":"harmonysecret"}

In the root directory of the git repo, use the heroku CLI to login and then deploy the code to heroku:

$ heroku login
$ git push heroku master

If the build succeeded, you should be able to visit the webpage of the app. Heroku provides a handy shortcut:

$ heroku open
