Lovely UI... I'm interested to know what DB you used for searching chords? I tried to create something similar in React with MIDI support a while back but couldn't get the library (unfortunately, its name I've forgotten) I was working with to play ball with some of the tastier chord combos :)
it looks like I can click on the tiny keyboard, but nothing happens when I do, other than the color changing. I'm really not sure what I'm supposed to do with this, or how it will help me learn chords and scales.
If I'm shown a keyboard I expect to click it and make sound (thanks, MYST). This does nothing.
The only instructions "e.g. Cm7b5" means nothing to me. I can only assume its target market is the people that understand whatever this notation is, in which case they don't need to learn.
FAIL.
Huh, it has the modes in there too. Nice little tool.
This is really neat. Would love to see a version for guitar as well, but would be a little more difficult to display I imagine.
I expect you really mean: find a way to play a given chord without breaking your fingers, but when playing classical guitar you'll move your hand while playing arpeggios, so you're not constrained to just positions you can strum. You can solve for that, it's just not that useful.
The code's a bit embarrassing, the only program of any size I wrote in postscript - at the time it seemed the best way to 'write once, run anywhere useful' given the 286's, mac classics, and Sparc 2's I had access to; it ran on on the office Laserwriter.
Best thing about writing it is, I got a letter from a guy who used it to publish a book of banjo music in new zealand, because it was the only thing he could find at the time that handled 5 stringed instruments.
Does absolutely nothing on my computer except alternate between two color schemes.
