Question for Python3 (music)

Question

Create a program in Python that does the following.

I need to give a name to a string. ex. Major (a,b,c,d,e,f,g) and assign this to different values. a=A, b=Bm, c=Cm, d=D, e=Em, f=F, g=G Then I need to print the results.

Then I may want to do another similar example like ex. Dorian (a,b,c,d,e,f,g)
a=A, b=B, c=cm, d=Dmb5, e=E, f=Fm, g=Gm
What would be the best way to approach this? I need to create atleast 7 examples like this (it is for a music project).

Answer 1

I will try to not be too confusing lol.
We have 7 scales. "Major, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian & Locrian
Those 7 scales have a specific set of notes and chord extensions they follow a pattern.

A capital letter alone will represent a "Major chord"
A capital letter with a lowercase "m" represents a Minor Chord

So I need to assign the patterns for each scale. Here's what they would look like.
C Major: C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, Bm
D Dorian: Dm, Em, F, G, Am, Bm, C
E Phrygian: Em, F, G, Am, Bm, C, Dm
F Lydian: F, G, Am, Bm, C, Dm, Em
G Mixolydian: G, Am, Bm, C, Dm, Em, F
A Aeolian: Am, Bm, C, Dm, Em, F, G
B Locrian: Bm, C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am,

Now if I selected note "A" I would like it to output our 6th line
A Aeolian: Am, Bm, C, Dm, Em, F, G
If we selected the note "C" it would output our first line "Major" and so on.

Recapping: we have our 1st scale C Major C, D, E, F, G, A, B
By selecting a note from C,D,E,F,G,A,B (or be viewed as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7) it will output the corresponding scale and its chord types. If a "D" or "2" is input we want it to output D Dorian: Dm, Em, F, G, Am, Bm, C. I need this to work on 7 letters/numbers. Thank you

Answer 2

then it will be so simple.....just make a dictionary and output the value with respect to the key which is your input

Answer 3

can you give some more inputs and outputs

Answer 4

Use dictionary in python.
The declaration of it is like this :
major = {"a":"A", "b":"Bm" }
You can continue putting values.
Sorry for not going in details here, and I hope it's good enough hint.
