Guitar Fretboard

My attempt at:

  • Calculating frequencies of musical scales
  • Calculating circle of 5ths' and 4ths' major and minor scales
  • Drawing guitar fretboard, show natural notes on it
library(tidyverse)
source("scale_util.R")

Creates a "circle of fifths" data frame

tones12 <- tibble(degree=1:13,
                  notes=c("C","C#","D","D#","E","F","F#","G","G#","A","A#","B","C2"),
                  notesF=c("C","Db","D","Eb","E","F","Gb","G","Ab","A","Bb","B","C2"),
                  majorIdx=c(T,F,T,F,T,T,F,T,F,T,F,T,T),
                  minorIdx=c(T,F,T,T,F,T,F,T,T,F,T,F,T),
                  freqMult=accumulate(degree[-13],~.x*semitone,.init=1),
                  freq=middleC*freqMult,
                  # 5ths
                  roots5ths=getRoots(12,8), # P5 is 8th note
                  notes5ths=notes[roots5ths],
                  freq5ths=getFreqSeries(12,freqMult[8]),
                  majorScale5ths=map_chr(roots5ths,getScale,notes,majorIdx),
                  majorSharps5ths=map_chr(majorScale5ths,getSharps),
                  minorScale5ths=map_chr(roots5ths,getScale,notes,minorIdx),   
                  minorSharps5ths=map_chr(minorScale5ths,getSharps),
                  # 4ths
                  roots4ths=getRoots(12,6), # P4 is 6th note
                  notes4ths=notesF[roots4ths],
                  freq4ths=getFreqSeries(12,freqMult[6]),
                  majorScale4ths=map_chr(roots4ths,getScale,notesF,majorIdx),
                  majorFlats4ths=map_chr(majorScale4ths,getFlats),
                  minorScale4ths=map_chr(roots4ths,getScale,notesF,minorIdx),
                  minorFlats4ths=map_chr(minorScale4ths,getFlats)
)
