Re: [Sugar-devel] Outreachy - Going Beyond Equal Temperament in Music Blocks

I think some of the confusion comes from some ambiguous terminology. Arg blocks are blocks that "flow" horizontally. Flow args "flow" vertically. I think we are talking about a flow block that accepts three arg blocks. I am not sure we have any example of three argument blocks right now, but we

Re: [Sugar-devel] Outreachy - Going Beyond Equal Temperament in Music Blocks

Hi, *Mode* is a new term to me and I'm still reading about it ([1] and [2]). I'm finding it hard to understand the relationship between temperament and mode or their implementations, any advice on it would be great. Is mode already presented in music blocks? [1] -

Thanks for the link. Somehow I missed that issue while going through the list of issues. I'm trying to define the scope of the project in order to come up with a timeline for the project. As Walter said earlier, then the first step would be to set up a method so that a given frequency will be

Re: [Sugar-devel] Outreachy - Going Beyond Equal Temperament in Music Blocks

Hi, I went through some of the temperaments available in order to get an idea about the types of temperaments that can be added to Music Blocks. According to [1] the temperaments that could be added are: 1. Equal temperament(default) 2. Just intonation 3. Pythagorean tuning 4.

Hi, Thank you and I will see to it. When applying to Outreachy, is submitting an application through Outreachy application process sufficient? For GSOC Sugar Labs have a proposal template but there is no such template for Outreachy is it? (Apart from the Outreachy's application template)

Re: [Sugar-devel] Outreachy - Going Beyond Equal Temperament in Music Blocks

I don't know that we know all of the answers to your questions. Right now, the code is hardwired to equal temperament so the first task would be to unwind some of the methods in musicutils.js that determine the note intervals. Then, ideally, we'd support both a simple block for choosing a tuning
