Set Theory Calculator – ForteNight
The uber-beta web version of my Set Theory calculator program is up here. Its just running right off my Mac’s web server right now, so apologies if its slow or down or whatever. But its basically functional. You can enter in a set of notes, and it outputs some cheerfully done calculations! Of course, you can still enter invalid sets and it won’t warn you, the lookup mechanism to return what Allen Forte number your set it doesn’t work yet, and the output page isn’t very pretty. But those are all going to be fixed tomorrow hopefully.
The biggest question you’ll probably have is ‘so what’? Well, I can’t answer that for you. You need to talk to a musician. Preferably a composer or theorist. A performance musician might get it, but it won’t be very useful to them. Oh well, its fun to write, and fun for a few people out there!
Update: Fixed the URL!

Yo Sam! The calculator seems to be working fine. The link appears to be broken, but I was able to find a way in. The output is OK, but there seems to be a text size problem near the bottom of the page. (It looks html related to my uneducated eyes) Anyway, I’ll be subjecting it to heavy testing to see how it holds up. Allen Forte would be so proud!
Interesting calculator! I would be interested in adding it to my site WebCalc if you wouldn’t mind, or at least making a PHP version of the calculator.
One of the best things about working on WebCalc is I am learning many different things from a variety of fields.
Suppose A and B are subsets of a universal set U with
n(A ? B) = 47, n(A’ ? B) = 37, n(A ? B’) = 30, n(A’ ? B’) = 39.
n(U) =
There’s a bundle to learn about this. You made good points also.
For me android is the best OS and is going to overtake apple or windows! Take for example the xperia play it is the best smartphone ever and that’s not the only good mobile(!) so on long term the iphone is dead! Or?
The old bastards like Molina, Winn, Rowand, Aurillia, Renteria and even the pathetic Fred Sanchez contributed nothing but false hope and embarrassing vaudevillian displays of pseudo-baseball during September as well. Slop-hacking losers, posers and garbage cans. Frauds.
I am experiencing a problem with your rss feed . Don’t know why I am not able to subscribe to it. Is there anyone getting similar rss problem? Anyone who knows kindly respond. Thanks
There are actually loads of details like that to take into consideration. That is a nice point to deliver.

Justice is the single most important quality that a person can possess. Each individual’s life should be guided by justice. Justice consists of never doing harm to anyone else??a??a€?either to another’s person or property. The essence of justice is founded in the respect of private property. One great fault is passive injustice, which is to stand by and allow another person to be wronged. Passive injustice occurs when we chose to remain silent because of our own needs or through preoccupation. Justice can even be extended to those who have wronged someone else by avoiding excessive retribution. Except for those who have committed the most heinous crimes, such as parricide, even the guilty deserve an attorney’s best effort. Part of justice is generosity, but an individual should never give more than he or she can afford. We should not ruin ourselves by giving, and we should give with a sense that our generosity will truly help. Morality is built on keeping one’s word, or ??a???“fides.??a???? The Romans believed that the empire was built on integrity. However, the individual must be practical. At times, keeping one’s word is wrong.
I was just seeking this information for some time. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your site. I wonder what is the Google’s issue that doesn’t rank this kind of informative sites closer to the top. Normally the top websites are full of garbage.
