Hi World,
This is my attempt at a software project to integrate some music theory knowledge that's still in my head into something useful.  This is currently in alpha development stage i.e. lots of busted stuff.  My hope is to get enough feedback in the design to make it useful for me and for others.  Use it as Java sample code if you like.
 

Provide a computer environment which will facilitate finding patterns and relationships between chords, scales, intervals, keys in an automated manner.  Like a 4gl for writing music?

Finding relationships between chords, scales.
Find chord and scale equivalence.
Transpose a series of chords from one key to another.
