Package: SoundCoach
System name: soundcoach
Type: non-GNU

Description:
The name of the project is soundcoach.  It is a sound/music program
that creates a window with some resemblence to a musical staff.  A
user can click notes in and play them.  There is an ability save to
a file, load from a file, paste.  The user can change scales, there is
a built in semitone scale, similar to a piano keyboard, also a built in
quartertone scale, and the user can define a custom scale.  Included in
the package are examples of scales and tutorial files to be loaded.  The
program also has \'games\' to allow a user to test their hearing acuity, such 
as testing how close to notes can be in pitch and the user still tell them 
apart.
Besides playing notes, soundcoach samples incoming
sound and runs a fast fourier transform and displays on its staff the
two dominant frequencies of incoming sound and, if they are close to
notes on the staff, it indicates if they are the same, or a little sharp
or a little flat.  The idea was to help train people to sing on key.
Soundcoach was developed on gnu/linux (slackware 8.0 and Redhat 7.1 distros) 
and those are the only places it\'s been tried.

Other Software Required:
libm, libpthread, libX11.  Also, some fast fourier transform code.  This
was written by a dcross, and released to the public domain.  I downloaded the 
files for myself and left them unchanged, but the site I
got them from has gone (a web search of \'dcross fourier\' will reveal a lot of 
broken links).  The source files are fourierd.c fourier.h ddcmath.h fourier.h 
and fftmisc.c

Other Comments:
I don\'t have a web page, so there\'s no place like that to get the source
code from.  I have a shell account address@hidden, but I don\'t think you\'d be 
able to access it without my password.  I\'d rather just email
you the source code, if you don\'t mind.
