NAME

Music::ChordBot - Programmatically build songs for ChordBot

SYNOPSIS

Song API (simple):

use Music::ChordBot::Song;

# Define a song
song "Funky Perl";
tempo 120;

# Define a section (song part)
section "Funky Section";
style "Kubiac";

# Add chords.
Dm7 4; Am7; Dm7; Dm7;

Song API (explicit chords):

# Add chords.
chord "D Min7 4";
chord "A Min7 4";
chord "D Min7 4";
chord "D Min7 4";

Opus API (powerful):

use Music::ChordBot::Opus;
use Music::ChordBot::Opus::Section;

# The song.
my $song = Music::ChordBot::Opus->new(
    name => "Funky Perl", tempo => 120 );

# One section.
my $section = Music::ChordBot::Opus::Section->new(
    name => "Funky Section" );

$section->set_style( "Kubiac" );
$section->add_chord( "D Min7 4" );
$section->add_chord( "A Min7 4" );
$section->add_chord( "D Min7 4" );
$section->add_chord( "D Min7 4" );

# Add section to song.
$song->add_section($section);

# Export as json.
print $song->json, "\n";

DESCRIPTION

Chordbot is a songwriting tool / electronic backup band for iPhone/iPad and Android that lets you experiment with advanced chord progressions and arrangements quickly and easily. You can use Chordbot for songwriting experiments, as accompaniment when learning new songs or for making backing tracks for your guitar / saxophone / theremin solos.

ChordBot can import and export songs in JSON format. Music::ChordBot provides a set of modules that can be used to programmatically build songs and produce the JSON data suitable for import into ChordBot.

ChordBot web site: http://www.chordbot.com.

Note that Music::ChordBot requires the full version of ChordBot since the Lite version does not have import capabilities.

Currently there are two distinct API's as can be seen from the SYNOPSYS. See Music::ChordBot::Song and Music::ChordBot::Opus for details.
