Quest to Enhance Music Learning
Recently I am looking at prompts, AI code, python code, javascript and web code to enhance music teaching tools which can help a beginner learn music performance and theory quickly in real time.
Prompt:
I am looking for a html5 javascript or python library for being able to render a piano or music keyboard which can show two octaves side by side which is 24 keys for a large picture of a chord, and then also save or generate small pictures for a chord sheet. Please show me all python libraries or web javascript libraries which can do this or export the keyboard images and chords to make chord ccharts for my music students.
Response:
For your requirement to render a piano or music keyboard that can show two octaves and to save or generate pictures for chord sheets, several Python libraries and a JavaScript library can be helpful:
MusPy is a comprehensive Python library for symbolic music generation. It includes features for piano-roll and score visualizations that can be used for creating images of chords. It does not explicitly mention exporting these visualizations, but the graphics can be captured and used for chord charts.
musicpy is another Python library that deals with music theory and might be useful for creating chord representations. However, it's more focused on the theoretical part of music and might require additional steps to create visual chord diagrams.
PyPiano can be utilized to programmatically play piano sounds and might be extended to show chords. This library includes the ability to play notes and record them, but it does not have a direct feature for creating chord diagrams.
PyMusic-Instrument offers functionality to create sounds of instruments, mainly guitar and piano, and also allows you to plot graphs and spectrograms, which could be used creatively to illustrate chords, although this is not its primary function.
pychord is a library that can handle musical chords in Python. It has capabilities to create MIDI files which may be used in conjunction with other libraries to create chord diagrams, but it doesn't seem to provide direct chord visualization tools.
For JavaScript libraries, the GitHub topic "chord-diagram" lists several repositories that may be of interest:
d3-chord-diagrams showcases example chord diagrams using D3.js, which is a powerful tool for creating interactive web visualizations. You could potentially adapt this for piano chords, but you would need to do some customization.
Please note that while these libraries provide tools that can be used towards creating chord diagrams, they might not offer a direct out-of-the-box solution for generating images of piano chords as you describe. You may need to combine functionalities from these libraries with additional programming to achieve your specific goals.

Music Images
These images are part of the same process yet somewhat epic fail in January in 2024. Maybe by next month with Lumiere?
After looking it seems no image ML models can yet draw an acccurate music keyboard from 25 keys to 88 keys.
Oh well, looking at constraint based modeling in the Lumiere model and also for a few image + text models it looks close however it requires a different kind of algorithm to constrain a structure in an image.
Below is my latest rendition of my single page Chord Prompter idea which seeks to assist real time music performance by showing cchord diagrams above the lyricc on which the playing changes. Test driving it, for me it seems to be the best so far for two page view at a glance to assist playing and singing music.
