Today and yesterday, I have been working on familiarizing myself with JEM. JEM has many useful features, however, several questions have surfaced in this process. Mainly, JEM does not have the same standard library that JES does so I was having difficulty using simple functions that we have used all year. I suspect that the solution may be as simple as importing a library. I will solve this tomorrow in lab.
Because I could not figure out how to import files, I was not successful in playing a midi file in JEM, however, I have researched it on the Jython Music website and feel confident on how it can be done.
I suspect the next big hurdle will be figuring out how to create a dictionary of the notes. The plan of our program is to assign values for the qualities of each midi note, which will require a dictionary of notes.
