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