About The Project

IEEE1599Generator is a project developed for the Music Programming exam at the University of Milan (academic year 2020-2021). It is an application which, on the basis of a series of user-definable parameters, generates an IEEE 1599 file by randomly the elements present.

Built With

• Java 11.0.12
• Apache Maven 3.8.2
• Apache Maven Javadoc Plugin 3.3.1
• Log4j 2
• Picocli 4.6.1
• Jansi 2.0.1

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Java 11.0.12
• Apache Maven 3.8.2

Installation

1. Clone the repo:

   git clone https://github.com/FedericaPaoli1/IEEE1599Generator.git

2. Run the following command:

   mvn clean package 

Usage

1. Within the target/ folder, run the following command:

   java -cp IEEE1599Generator-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar com.ieee1599generator.IEEE1599App 

   followed by the parameters:

   	Description	Default
   --creator=<String>	creator name of the IEEE1599 file
   --title=<String>	musical composition title	Title
   --author=<String>	musical composition author	Author
   --track-length=<long>	track length in seconds
   --bpm=<int>	time expressed in bpm
   --metre=<first parameter:second parameter>	metre expressed as a string
   --instruments-number=<int>	musical instruments number

2. Specify the following parameters as many times as there are musical instruments (instruments-number):

   	Description	Default
   --max-notes-number=<int>	maximum number of played notes
   --min-duration=<numerator/denominator>	minimum duration of musical figures expressed as integers array
   --max-duration=<numerator/denominator>	maximum duration of musical figures expressed as integers array
   --min-height=<Anglo-Saxon note name>_<possible accidental (sharp, sharp_and_a_half, demisharp, double_sharp, flat, flat_and_a_half, demiflat, double_flat)><octave>	minimum height of musical figures expressed as a string
   --max-height=<Anglo-Saxon note name>_<possible accidental (sharp, sharp_and_a_half, demisharp, double_sharp, flat, flat_and_a_half, demiflat, double_flat)><octave>	maximum height of musical figures expressed as a string
   --max-notes-number-chord=<int>	maximum number of notes in a chord
   --irregular-groups=<boolean>	presence or absence of irregular groups
   --min-delay=<int>	minimum delay in VTU after which the next note will sound
   --seed=<long>	seed for random object	1234

3. Once execution is complete, the following will be generated:

   • the IEEE1599 file, called ieee1599.xml
   • the log file, called ieee1599.log

4. To generate the Java documentation, run the following command:

   mvn javadoc:javadoc 

   and in /target/site/apidocs/ you will find the generated javadoc file, called index.html.

Usage examples

After positioning yourself in the /target folder:

1. Generation of IEEE1599 file with a single musical instrument:

 java -cp IEEE1599Generator-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar com.ieee1599generator.IEEE1599App --creator=Federica --track-length=120 --bpm=108 --metre=4:4  --instruments-number=1 --max-notes-number=150 --min-duration=1/8 --max-duration=1/1 --min-height=C-1 --max-height=A4 --max-notes-number-chord=3 --irregular-groups=false --min-delay=256 

2. Generation of the IEEE1599 file with the presence of irregular groups:

 java -cp IEEE1599Generator-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar com.ieee1599generator.IEEE1599App --creator=Federica --track-length=120 --bpm=108 --metre=4:4 --instruments-number=1 --max-notes-number=150 --min-duration=1/8 --max-duration=1/1 --min-height=C-1 --max-height=A4 --max-notes-number-chord=3  --irregular-groups=true --min-delay=256

3. Generation of IEEE1599 file with the presence of accidental in note pitches:

 java -cp IEEE1599Generator-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar com.ieee1599generator.IEEE1599App --creator=Federica --track-length=120 --bpm=108 --metre=4:4 --instruments-number=1 --max-notes-number=150 --min-duration=1/8 --max-duration=1/1 --min-height=C_flat_and_a_half2 --max-height=A_sharp_5 --max-notes-number-chord=3 --irregular-groups=false --min-delay=256

4. Generation of IEEE1599 file with more than one musical instrument:

 java -cp IEEE1599Generator-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar com.ieee1599generator.IEEE1599App --creator=Federica --track-length=120 --bpm=108 --metre=4:4 --instruments-number=5 --max-notes-number=150 --min-duration=1/8 --max-duration=1/1 --min-height=C-1 --max-height=B_sharp_9 --max-notes-number-chord=3 --irregular-groups=true --min-delay=256 --max-notes-number=200 --min-duration=1/16 --max-duration=1/2 --min-height=E2 --max-height=A4 --max-notes-number-chord=2 --irregular-groups=true --min-delay=256 --max-notes-number=250 --min-duration=1/32 --max-duration=1/4 --min-height=C-1 --max-height=G8 --max-notes-number-chord=5 --irregular-groups=false --min-delay=2 --max-notes-number=50 --min-duration=1/64 --max-duration=1/1 --min-height=D_flat_and_a_half2 --max-height=A5 --max-notes-number-chord=1 --irregular-groups=true --min-delay=100 --max-notes-number=20 --min-duration=1/2 --max-duration=1/1 --min-height=B-1 --max-height=A9 --max-notes-number-chord=7 --irregular-groups=false --min-delay=256

5. Generation of the IEEE1599 file with a different setting of the values that have the default value:

 java -cp IEEE1599Generator-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar com.ieee1599generator.IEEE1599App --creator=Federica --title=DifferentTitle --author=DifferentAuthor --track-length=120 --bpm=108 --metre=4:4  --instruments-number=1 --max-notes-number=150 --min-duration=1/8 --max-duration=1/1 --min-height=C-1 --max-height=A4 --max-notes-number-chord=3 --irregular-groups=false --min-delay=256 --seed=5678
