Visualization

MusPy supports two visualization tools. Both use Matplotlib as the backend for flexibility.

Piano-roll Visualization

The piano-roll visualization is made possible with the Pypianoroll library.

_images/pianoroll.png
muspy.show_pianoroll(music: Music, **kwargs)[source]

Show pianoroll visualization.

Score Visualization

The score visualization is made possible with the Bravura font.

_images/score.png
muspy.show_score(music: Music, figsize: Optional[Tuple[float, float]] = None, clef: str = 'treble', clef_octave: Optional[int] = 0, note_spacing: Optional[int] = None, font_path: Union[str, pathlib.Path, None] = None, font_scale: Optional[float] = None) → muspy.visualization.score.ScorePlotter[source]

Show score visualization.

Parameters:
  • music (muspy.Music) – Music object to show.
  • figsize ((float, float), optional) – Width and height in inches. Defaults to Matplotlib configuration.
  • clef (str, {'treble', 'alto', 'bass'}) – Clef type. Defaults to a treble clef.
  • clef_octave (int) – Clef octave. Defaults to zero.
  • note_spacing (int, optional) – Spacing of notes. Defaults to 4.
  • font_path (str or Path, optional) – Path to the music font. Defaults to the path to the built-in Bravura font.
  • font_scale (float, optional) – Font scaling factor for finetuning. Defaults to 140, optimized for the Bravura font.
Returns:

A ScorePlotter object that handles the score.

Return type:

muspy.ScorePlotter

muspy.ScorePlotter(fig: matplotlib.figure.Figure, ax: matplotlib.axes._axes.Axes, resolution: int, note_spacing: Optional[int] = None, font_path: Union[str, pathlib.Path, None] = None, font_scale: Optional[float] = None)[source]

A plotter that handles the score visualization.

muspy.fig

Figure object to plot the score on.

Type:matplotlib.figure.Figure
muspy.axes

Axes object to plot the score on.

Type:matplotlib.axes.Axes
muspy.resolution

Time steps per quarter note.

Type:int
muspy.note_spacing

Spacing of notes. Defaults to 4.

Type:int, optional
muspy.font_path

Path to the music font. Defaults to the path to the downloaded Bravura font.

Type:str or Path, optional
muspy.font_scale

Font scaling factor for finetuning. Defaults to 140, optimized for the Bravura font.

Type:float, optional
