\f0\fs24 \cf0 OPL ARPEGGIATOR PROJECT OUTLINE\
\
OPL concepts utilized in project (for Mike):\
	hash table of the note-symbols to their respective y-draw height\
	map to draw chords over a sector of notes\
	recursion to draw a single note (circle)\

Notes:\
\
whole		open circle\
half		open circle with flag on right\
fourth\
eighth\
sixteenth\
\
4/4 timescale\
Given one measure at a time, max 16 sixteenth notes\
	- can be chained 4 at a time\
	- eighths can only be connected in 2\
\
\
Driver:\
	Ask for chord in range G3-F4 (they enter letters, Mike appends 3 or 4)\
\
	Now ask to choose option:\
		a) down to up\
		b) up to down\
		c) random\
\
	Now ask for speed:\
		a) whole\
		b) half\
		c) fourth\
		d) eighth\
		e) sixteenth\
\
	Now ask for flavor:\
		a) major\
		b) minor\
\
	Now ask for a range (amount of notes in chord):\
		a) 1 (root)\
		b) 2 (dom)\
		c) 3 (third)\
		d) 4 (high root)\
		e) 5 (low dom)\
		f) 6 (low third)\
		g) 7 (low root)\
\
\
Then build a chord-config object:\
	- A list of notes\
	- Enum of speed\
	- Enum for flavor\
	- Enum for range\
\
This object will be a message passing object\
	e.g. (def (cons a b) (if 'car return b) (else 'cdr return b))\
\
\
Future, time permitting:\
	Progression Object (up to 4 chord-config objects)\
