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 duration, while sounding 
10   * the pitch! The color of the rectangle will correspond to 
11   * the pitch class. The duration will correspond to the duration 
12   * of the note. 
13   * 
14   * For this first version of the program, the duration will be held 
15   * constant at 1 beat. 
16   * 
17   * Three sorts of images will appear on the screen, 
18   * the chromesthetic output box, a text input box, 
19   * and an error message box. Simplicity of design 
20   * is rendered by permitting only one box to be on the screen 
21   * at at a time. 
22   * 
23   * ABC Represents notes in a manner consistent with these examples: 
24   * C D E C D E ,cde 
25   * 
26   * google ABC Music representation for more information
