Chromesthesia.java
1    /* 
2    *This program interprets melodic lines given in ABC notation as a 
3    * chromesthete might. 
4    * 
5    * A Pitch class will be defined, and will take center stage in the 
6    * processing. 
7    * 
8    * Interpreting a melody in ABC notation will amount to flashing 
9    * colored rectangles for prescribed durations, while sounding 
10   * the pitch! The color of the rectangle will correspond to pitch 
11   * class. The duration will correspond to the duration of the note. 
12   * 
13   * For this first version of the program, the duration will be held 
14   * constant at 1 beat. 
15   * 
16   * Three sorts of images will appear on the screen, the chromesthetic 
17   * output box, a text input box, and an error message box. Simplicity 
18   * of design is rendered by permitting only one box to be on the screen 
19   * at a time. 
20   * 
21   * ABC represents notes in a manner consistent with these examples: 
22   * C,D,E, C D E c d e 
23   * 
24   * Google ABC music representation if you would like to know more about it
