    If I read it correctly, the mapper will score fingering based on how many frets the hand needs to stretch:

    But this doesn't seem to account for other shape concerns. The bit I am most interested in is whether this mapper can avoid barre chords where possible.

    Related, I think there should also be an option to take capo into account.

    Hi @ycombiredd, could this be used to turn MIDI into http://strudel.cc mini-notation?

    Nice! This reminds me of my PhD research! I built some similar tools to go the other way (for comparing similarity with scores) but probably nowhere near as reliable as this. QQ How do you handle repeat segments? I remember having to extrapolate the x2's etc but in your you could detect patterns and do the reverse for compactness.

    Awesome OP. I'll give it a shot because I've been considering doing something similar for chord charts. Glad to see abc notation support.

    Looks interesting, too bad it's limited to 6 strings and 3 tunings, that excludes a lot of music

    I looked for similar tools;

    Looks like tayuya is also written in Python, on mido and music21. It has a "get all notes to play" feature, mentions LilyPond tab output as a todo, and has a get_key(midi) method built on music21: https://github.com/vipul-sharma20/tayuya#get-all-notes-to-pl...

    tayuya.tabs:note_nearest_to_fret: https://github.com/vipul-sharma20/tayuya/blob/master/tayuya/...

    Kord has a fretboard visualizer tool: https://github.com/synestematic/kord#fretboard-tool

    Textual is another way to create CLIs for Python scripts.

    What about tab playback and CLI-based scrubbing?

    There was a post a week or so ago about an LWN article about spotify/pedalboard, which is written in Python and built on JUCE (C++) and supports VST3 and LV2 plugins like a MIDI player or a wavetable synth and a Guitarix effects rack: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44604024#44648290
