Chromesthesia.java
1    /* 
2     * This program interprets melodic lines given in ABC notation as a chromesthete might. 
3     * 
4     * A Pitch class will be defined, and will take center stage in the processing. 
5     * 
6     * 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. 
7     * The duration will correspond to the duration of the note. 
8     * 
9     * For this first version of the program, the duration will be held constant at 1 beat. 
10    * 
11    * 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 
12    * the screen at a time. 
13    * 
14    * ABC represents notes in a manner consistent with these examples: 
15    * C, D, E, C D E c d e 
16    * 
17    * Google ABC music representation if you would like to know more about it.
