music.Being¶

class music.Being[source]¶

Bases: object

A configurable sequence walker that renders notes.

Attributes are assigned from outside as well as within: the examples set perms, domain, curseq and the parameter sequences directly before calling walk or render. They are declared here so that surface is discoverable rather than implicit.

__init__()[source]¶

Methods

`__init__`()
`addSeq`(sequence)	Add sequence to the Being.
`freeze`()	Freeze the Being.

walk(n, method='straight')[source]¶

Walk a certain number of steps.

Parameters:

nint: Number of steps.
methodstr: Method of walking.

Returns:

array: Sequence of steps.

setPar(par='f')[source]¶

Set parameter to be developed in walks and stays.

Parameters:

parstr: Parameter to be set. Only ‘f’ is implemented, and it requires fgrid and fpointer to have been assigned by the caller, as perms, domain and curseq are.

Returns:
