  • BREAKING: Removed HeadMusic::Parse::RhythmicValue class
  • BREAKING: Removed HeadMusic::Parse::RhythmicElement class
  • BREAKING: Removed entire HeadMusic::Parse module

Migration Guide

If you were using the removed Parse classes, migrate as follows:

# Before (v8.x)
parser = HeadMusic::Parse::Pitch.new("C#4")
pitch = parser.pitch

# After (v9.x)
pitch = HeadMusic::Rudiment::Pitch.get("C#4")
# or for strict parsing:
pitch = HeadMusic::Rudiment::Pitch::Parser.parse("C#4")

# Before (v8.x)
parser = HeadMusic::Parse::RhythmicValue.new("dotted quarter")
value = parser.rhythmic_value

# After (v9.x)
value = HeadMusic::Rudiment::RhythmicValue.get("dotted quarter")
# or for strict parsing:
value = HeadMusic::Rudiment::RhythmicValue::Parser.parse("dotted quarter")

# Before (v8.x)
parser = HeadMusic::Parse::RhythmicElement.new("F#4 dotted-quarter")
note = parser.note

# After (v9.x)
note = HeadMusic::Rudiment::Note.get("F#4 dotted-quarter")
