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   130 
16   * 
17   * Three sorts of images will appear on the screen, the chromesthetic 
18   * output box, a text input box, and an error message box. Simplicity 
19   * of design is rendered by permitting only one box to be on the screen 
20   * at a time. 
21   * 
22   * ABC represents notes in a manner consistent with these examples: 
23   * C, D, E, C D E c d e 
24   * 
25   * Google ABC music representation if you would like to know more about it.
