Public Class Methods

transpose(half_steps, *notes, pref_flat: false) click to toggle source

Transposes array of notes by specified number of half_steps

Examples:

transpose(-1, %w(C F Am G))
=> ["Bb", "Eb", "Gm", "F"]

transpose(-10, %w(C F Am G))
=> ["D", "G", "Bm", "A"]

transpose(3, %w(D# F Bm G7))
=> ["F#", "Ab", "Dm", "Bb7"]

transpose(3, %w(D# F Bm G7), pref_flat: true)
=> ["Gb", "Ab", "Dm", "Bb7"]
