Schemata
Partimenti from the literature (broadly Gjerdingen)
Organized in simple dicts with keys for:
"name": e.g.,"Romanesca","when": e.g.,"Opening","strong_first": bool. True if the pattern starts strong-weak, False for the opposite. (They all alternate)"melody": the melodic part expressed in scale degrees (int 1--7)."bass": the bass part expressed in scale degrees (int 1--7)."figures": harmony as expressed in figured bass (see toolkit issue #8)."note": optional.
Ongoing considerations for the encoding: - figure numbers: encoding figures is a very pervasive issue. This "X,Y" format is interoperable with some libraries. - rhythmic differences between components. This "X-Y" preserves the N stages and metrical sides.
