Iterating all notes in Music21
I am trying to get a table of information such as the following for each note:
Pitch - Octave - AbsoluteStart - Duration - Tied - MeterOfMeasure - Quarterlength
For each note in the stream (which may contain voices, etc.). Is there an easy way to iterate over all the notes so I can just call the properties one?
from music21 import *
song = converter.parse('test.xml')
I have tried:
song.show('t')
The problem is that important information (duration, etc.) is missing.
ps: Ideally, I can preproject the flow, so the Ties relationship is treated as the duration of a sustained note. I believe this is possible with Stream.stripTies.
The musicXML file I'm testing with is:

My solution for repeating all notes and getting musical properties back:
import music21 as m
song = m.converter.parse('test.xml')
# process the ties
song = song.stripTies()
# unfold repetitions
i = 0;
for a in song:
if a.isStream:
e = m.repeat.Expander(a)
s2 = e.process()
timing = s2.secondsMap
song[i] = s2
i += 1;
# todo: add note onsets
def getMusicProperties(x):
s = '';
t='';
s = str(x.pitch) + ", " + str(x.duration.type) + ", " + str(x.duration.quarterLength);
s += ", "
if x.tie != None:
t = x.tie.type;
s += t + ", " + str(x.pitch.ps) + ", " + str(x.octave); # + str(x.seconds) # x.seconds not always there
return s
print('pitch, duration_string, duration, tie, midi pitch, octave')
for a in song.recurse().notes:
if (a.isNote):
x = a;
s = getMusicProperties(x);
print(s);
if (a.isChord):
for x in a._notes:
s = getMusicProperties(x);
print(s);
print("Done.")
To get absolute notes, we can use:
for el in song.recurse():
totalOffset = el.getOffsetInHierarchy(song)

You can findall('.//note')
iterate over all the notes by doing and then iterating over the children to get each tag and text or whatever else you want.
>>> import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
>>> root = ET.parse('music.xml').getroot()
>>> for note in root.findall(".//note"):
... for elem in note:
... print elem.tag, elem.text
... print
...
rest None
