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