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.
