User’s Guide, Chapter 41: Figured Bass

(This Chapter is a work in progress)

Let’s start with a new piece, the first movement of a Trio sonata by Corelli.

from music21 import *
corelli = corpus.parse('corelli/opus3no1')
corelli.show()
../_images/usersGuide_41_figuredBass_2_0.png 
basso = corelli.parts[-1]
basso.measure(2).show('text')

 {0.0} <music21.note.Note C>
 {2.0} <music21.note.Note A>
 {3.0} <music21.note.Note A>

(TODO: write method, lyrics to bass…)
