COMMAND

pitchmix -- Randomly reorder pitches in **kern spines, keeping rhythms unchanged.

pitchmix [input] [> output]

Example usages of the pitchmix program are available on the pitchmix examples page.

Input arguments or piped data which are expected to be Humdrum files can also be web addresses. For example, if a program can process files like this:

       program file.krn

It can also read the data over the web:

       program http://www.some-computer.com/some-directory/file.krn

Piped data works in a somewhat similar manner:

       cat file.krn | program

is equivalent to a web file using ths form:

       echo http://www.some-computer.com/some-directory/file.krn | program

Besides the http:// protocol, there is another special resource indicator prefix called humdrum:// which downloads data from the kernscores website. For example, using the URI humdrum://brandenburg/bwv1046a.krn:

      program humdrum://brandenburg/bwv1046a.krn

will download the URL:

http://kern.humdrum.org/cgi-bin/ksdata?file=bwv1046a.krn&l=/brandenburg&format=kern
Which is found in the Musedata Bach Brandenburg Concerto collection.

This online-access of Humdrum data can also interface with the classical Humdrum Toolkit commands by using humcat to download the data from the kernscores website. For example, try the command pipeline:

      humcat humdrum://brandenburg/bwv1046a.krn | census -k

The pitchmix program is related to the Humdrum Tool scramble.
