Feature request: offsets in quarter notes in notes tsv files?
Closed this issue · 4 comments
I have a question about the tsv files in the notes directory. I'm curious whether you would consider adding a column consisting of the onset time of each note in quarter notes. (E.g., if a note sounds on beat 3 of measure 2, where both measures are in 4/4, the onset time would be 6.) The onset time can be inferred from the mn and mn_onset columns, but it is not trivial to do so because previous measures may have had different time signatures. I will write myself a little script to do this if needs be, but if it would be a simple matter for you to add this based on your already existing code, perhaps it would be useful to people beyond just me?
Hi @malcolmsailor, I vaguely recall us having entertained this possibility in the past and deciding against (@johentsch will remember better). You could bring this up on the ms3 parser repo—or rather the nascent dimcat library—since these are actual components that could be tasked with generating this information.
Rather the opposite, the possibility is already part of the parser and continuous quarter note positions are planned to be default columns. Will add a preview to the v2 branch soon.
Added the columns to the notes and harmonies on the new v2_preview branch.
Excellent, @johentsch.
