#Features

• Notes & Pitch: Parsing of note names (e.g. C4, F#3, Bb-1) and bidirectionally converting them to MIDI pitch numbers.
• Intervals: Algebraic addition, subtraction, and note transposition.
• Scales & Modes: Diatonic scale generation for Major, Minor, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, and Locrian scales, as well as Pentatonic scales.
• Chords: Generation of triads and seventh chords from a root note, and parsing standard chord symbols (e.g. Cmaj7, Ab5m7).
• Roman Numeral Analysis: Chromatic degree analysis under a key signature (e.g. G7 under C Major is analyzed as V7, Eb is bIII).
• JSON Serialization: Full serialization/deserialization for core models (Note, Interval, Key).
• CLI query utility: Command-line tool to query chords, scales, transposition, and Roman numeral degree analysis.
• Score modeling: Typed note/chord events, tempo maps, time signatures, deterministic transforms, and JSON interchange.
• Rhythm and harmony diagnostics: Beat grids, quantization, syncopation, functional harmony, cadence detection, progression scoring, and constrained voice leading.
• Standard MIDI files: Checked SMF encoding/decoding with canonical VLQs, running status, track names, and malformed-input diagnostics.
• Analysis reports: Stable text/JSON reports with pitch histograms, register, rhythm, harmony, and counterpoint diagnostics.

#Usage & Examples

test "Readme examples" {
  // 1. Parsing and transposing notes
  let c4 = @theory.Note::parse("C4").unwrap()
  let m3 = @theory.Interval::parse("M3").unwrap()
  let e4 = c4.transpose(m3)
  inspect(e4.to_string(), content="E4")

  // 2. Generating chords
  let (root, chord_type) = @theory.parse_chord_symbol("Cmaj7").unwrap()
  let notes = @theory.generate_chord(root, chord_type)
  let notes_strs = notes.map(fn(n) { n.to_string() })
  inspect(notes_strs, content="[\"C4\", \"E4\", \"G4\", \"B4\"]")

  // 3. Roman Numeral analysis
  let c_major = @theory.Key::new(NoteLetter::C, Accidental::Natural, ScaleType::Major)
  let result = c_major.analyze_chord("G7").unwrap()
  inspect(result, content="V7")
}
