Re:Basic Music Theory in ~200 Lines of Python on Monday April 19, 2021 @07:26AM (#26861482)
There probably is a better or more general notation system, but specifically for western music it is actually pretty efficient and logical once you start working with it a bit. Just don't put too much weight on the names and think in intervals. You have a scale made up of 7 notes/intervals with the "fifth" simply being the fifth note in the scale. Same with third, etc. The specific flavor (major/minor) of e.g. the third you're playing usually depends on the mode, but it is still a "third" and serves the same-ish function. Extending the names i think would actually be more confusing. I'd argue it already puts the patterns of scales and chords in the foreground.
do you have a source for the >10x? because that was my assumption as well, but after reading through [0-3] i'm pretty amazed how cheap solar and wind have become over the last years.

looks nice!

i personally always loved pgadmin's graphical explain. i'm pretty visual and for me it is ideal to get a good first intuition on what's happening.

also got a 2015 and 4k @60hz is possible plug and play with a thunderbolt to displayport cable. anything other than default scaling gets a bit choppy though
