support alternative solmization types

felixroos commented 1 year ago

inspired by https://isartum.net/leimma it would be really cool if other alternatives to note strings would work:

solfege: do re mi fa so la ti da
indian: sa re/ri ga ma pa dha ni
german/dutch: c d e f g a h
japanese: ha ni ho he to i ro
javanese: ji ro lu pat ma nem pi
byzantine: ni pa vu ga di ke zo

sadly the leimma project is not open source so some research is needed.

edit: did some research on indian music:

semitones	hindustani	carnatic
0	Sa	sa
1	re	ra
2	Re	ri / ga
3	ga	ru / gi
4	Ga	gu
5	Ma	ma
6	ma	mi
7	Pa	pa
8	dha	dha
9	Dha	dhi / na
10	ni	dhu / ni
11	Ni	nu

edit: leimma actually has sourcemaps, so you can read the code in the browser. here is how they do it:

I am not sure how accurate these are + not sure how sense it makes to use them for notation in strudel. Just dropping them here to have them as a reference

hello, can you please assign this issue to me? I have written the code for it :)

https://github.com/tidalcycles/strudel/pull/570 is now merged, but the logic is still unused + some things are still missing, so i'll keep this open
