Ever wanted to know how long music beats needed to go for? What time signature would fit in a space? Maybe you’re building a quantization system and need to know the length of your quarter notes, or how many bars in a piece would last.

This application does exactly that!

Given a BPM, number of bars and time signature, it’ll give you the duration of the different beat values in the piece.

A note, this script MAY only work on windows & some earlier versions of Mac. After Catalina OSX deprecated the tkinter library, so you may get graphics crashes. If you do, you’ll be unable (as far as I know) to use the software.

If it works though, let me know!

To use, navigate to the folder, open your Terminal or CMD and run

py musical.py 

or

python musical.py 

Depending on your python installation.
