Overview

About

Maintained by Benjamin RenardCRAN page ↗Declared funders: European Commission and INRAE

A set of tools to facilitate data sonification and handle the 'musicXML' format https://usermanuals.musicxml.com/MusicXML/Content/XS-MusicXML.htm. Several classes are defined for basic musical objects such as note pitch, note duration, note, measure and score. Moreover, sonification utilities functions are provided, e.g. to map data into musical attributes such as pitch, loudness or duration. A typical sonification workflow hence looks like: get data; map them to musical attributes; create and write the 'musicXML' score, which can then be further processed using specialized music software (e.g. 'MuseScore', 'GuitarPro', etc.). Examples can be found in the blog https://globxblog.github.io/, the presentation by Renard and Le Bescond (2022, https://hal.science/hal-03710340v1) or the poster by Renard et al. (2023, https://hal.inrae.fr/hal-04388845v1).

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("musicXML", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-musicxml

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-musicXML

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-musicXML

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
