XQuery/MusicXML to Arduino

Motivation

You want to play music available in MusicXML format on an Arduino.

Approach

Fetch the Music XML file (either plain XML or compressed) and transform one monophic part to code to be included in an Arduino sketch.

Script

(: ~
 : convert a monotonic part in a MusicXML score to an Arduino code fragment suitable to include in a sketch 
 :
 :@param uri - the uri of the MusicXML file
 :@param part - the id of the part to be converted to midi notes
 :@return text containing Arduino statements to :
 :     set the tempo, 
 :     define the array of midi notes a
 :     define a parallel array of note durations in beats
