minor key

[Carlo Stemberger]

Hi, I discovered mingus yesterday and I found it very interesting.

I'm studying the documentation, but I can't understand how to set a
minor key. For example, how can I get

["A", "C", "E"]

using a syntax similar to

chords.I("C")

but with "A minor" instead of "C major"[1]?

Is the minor mode implemented in mingus?

Thanks!

Carlo

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but
I think
chords.minor_triad("A")
would return

["A", "C", "E"]

Thanks, but it isn't useful for me: I'm interested in harmonic rule of
chords.

I think mingus can't manage minor keys:

http://github.com/anthonyt/counterpoint/blob/master//README.txt

"Minor keys are not supported. This program relies heavily on the mingus
music theory framework, which has basically no support for minor keys."

I will probably work to solve this problem in the future.
