This week was a bit of a long week, but it's finally over :)

So Far

Last week I was able to to clean up chord realization a bit. Previously, the algorithm just stacked thirds to create the notes. Now it's a bit better behaved and defined. There is a bass note (which may be the root if the chord is not a slash chord) placed in the octave below middle C and then the rest of the chord is

Made some good progress this week moving forward despite dead week work!

So Far

This week I have accomplished most (arguably all :)) of what I set out to do. I'm still in the progress of cleaning up the code into a more robust data structure to prepare for the next steps, but the data structure is integrated and running. I've also got a very simple system of realizing full chords and all of their notes. It's stacked triads over

The previous week was a good week of development. I'm still in the process of understanding everything and planning things out for the future so there's still a lot of progress that is still waiting to be exposed as actual features.

So Far

I have accomplished what I mentioned last week and have basic chord symbol realization of just the root notes. This is something you can see here:

Hello!

The community bonding period has now ended and we are entering the coding period. Over the last few weeks, I have been reading tons of code, experimenting with designs, and continuing to plan out the specifics of this project.

So Far

I have been focusing mainly on the extraction of data. The state of the includes an incomplete option in Tools/Realize Chord Symbols. This option will eventually be the one used to turn chord symbols into notes on the

Hello!

My name is Peter Hieu Vu. I am an undergraduate student at the University of Washington Seattle and have been selected to work with MuseScore for this year's Google Summer of Code.

As a pianist who loves playing and writing lead sheets, chord symbols are essential for my music. When I first started using MuseScore, I remember transcribing a piece of music and pressing play. I had written a little melody and some spicy chords to go along with
