Features

• 🎵 Compose melodies using note names and durations (e.g., "C4:0.5")
• 🔊 Play melodies directly on your system’s audio output
• 💾 Save melodies as standard WAV files
• 🧑‍💻 Generate in-memory WAV bytes for web apps (e.g., Streamlit)
• 🎼 Sample built-in melodies: Happy Birthday, Twinkle Twinkle.
• 🪶 Lightweight: Only depends on numpy

Quick Start

Play a Melody

from himig import play

melody = ["C4:0.5", "C4:0.5", "G4:1.0"]
play(melody)

Save a Melody as WAV

from himig import save

melody = ["C4:0.5", "C4:0.5", "G4:1.0"]
save(melody, "happy.wav")

Use Built-in Melodies

from himig import play, happy_birthday, twinkle_twinkle

play(happy_birthday)
play(twinkle_twinkle)

Use in Streamlit or Web Apps

import streamlit as st
from himig import generate_wav_bytes, happy_birthday

wav_bytes = generate_wav_bytes(happy_birthday)
st.audio(wav_bytes, format="audio/wav")

Melody Format

• Each melody is a list of strings: "NOTE:DURATION"
  • NOTE: Note name (e.g., C4, F#5, Bb3, or R for rest)
  • DURATION: Length in seconds (float or int)
• Example: ["C4:0.5", "G4:1.0", "R:0.25"]

Built-in Melodies

• happy_birthday
• twinkle_twinkle

You can import them directly:

from himig import happy_birthday, twinkle_twinkle

You can contribute more melodies to the project, it is welcome!
