The code in Listing 8 ignores:
By ignore, I mean that they are not used to create an array that is added to the end of the ArrayList object.
The text file with the given name in the subfolder named Music is opened for reading by one of the early statements in Listing 8 . It is closed by the last statement in Listing 8 .
Listing 9 does essentially the same thing for the bass clef note data if a bass clef text file is specified on the command line.
| Listing 9 . Get and save bass clef note data. |
|---|
if(bassFileName != null){
//A file was specified for bass cleft data. Need to process it.bassClef = new ArrayList();
in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("Music/" + bassFileName));while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
String[]strArr = str.split(",");//Ignore:
// Blank lines that result in a string with a zero length// Comments that begin with a /
// Lines that begin with a spaceif(strArr[0].length() != 0&&!(strArr[0].substring(0,1).equals("/"))&&!(strArr[0].substring(0,1).equals(" "))){bassClef.add(strArr);
}//end if}//end while}//end if
}catch(Exception ex){ex.printStackTrace();
}//end catch |
Later on in the program, we will need to relate the notes from the text file to real time in seconds. We will also need to know the total length ofthe melody in seconds in order to create an array object of sufficient length to contain the audio data at a specified sampling rate.
In preparation for that requirement, Listing 10 uses an iterator to extract and add the number of beats for each note for each clef in order to get the totallength of the melody in beats. (Hopefully you are familiar with the use of an iterator as a result of your studies of the Collections Framework )
| Listing 10 . Compute the length of each clef in beats. |
|---|
//Compute length of trebleClef in beats
//Get an iterator on the trebleClefIterator iter = trebleClef.iterator();
while(iter.hasNext()){//Extract the next array of notes from the ArrayList.
String[]array = (String[])iter.next();//Get the duration in beats and add to the total.
trebleLengthInBeats += Integer.parseInt(array[0]);
}//end whileif(bassFileName != null){//Compute length of bassClef in beats
//Get an iterator on the trebleClefiter = bassClef.iterator();
while(iter.hasNext()){//Extract the next array of notes from the ArrayList
String[]array = (String[])iter.next();//Get the duration in beats and add to the total.
bassLengthInBeats += Integer.parseInt(array[0]);
}//end while |
Listing 11 continues the if statement that began in Listing 10 .
Given that the two text files were created separately and probably manually, there is a good possibility that the total length in beats of the treble clefdata and the total length of the bass clef data are not exactly the same. Listing 11 checks for that possibility and prints out a warning if the lengths don't match. As you will see later, if they don't match, the longer of the twowill be truncated to the length of the shorter one. (This might cause you to edit the files and add some musical rests to the end of the shorter one to make themmatch or, find and fix a problem somewhere within the melody.)
