value

A character string to replace the selected notes from x.

Details

A string representing the note's key is returned by the function. The first letter indicates the position of the note in the diatonic scale. The second character indicates if it is a sharp key (with a hash symbol, and a dash if it is not). The third character indicates the octave of the note. In ProTracker allowed notes range from "C-1" to "B-3".

Examples

mod <- pt2_read_mod(pt2_demo())

## select a specific cell from the first pattern
cell <- pt2_cell(mod$patterns[[1]], 0L, 0L)

## get the note played by this particular cell
pt2_note(cell)

## Replace the notes in the first pattern
## with those of the first bar of
## 'Frère Jacques'
pt2_note(mod$patterns[[1]][]) <-
  c("C-2", "---", "---", "---",
    "D-2", "---", "---", "---",
    "E-2", "---", "---", "---",
    "C-2", "---", "---", "---")
