Humdrum Utilities

• add_text_spine.py - Adds an empty **text spine at the end of the file (last column). Very helpful for when a file is not annotated yet and it is going to be annotated.
• restaff.py - Replaces the *staff entries with a systematic numbering. Starting with *staff4 for the bass and up to *staff1 in the soprano. Assumes that there is a **text spine at the end and it has an empty *staff entry.
• correct_spine_association.py - This figures out the correct *staffX that the **text spine should be pointing to at every slice. This is necessary in order to embed every annotation to a note, which many times is impossible if we annotate a single column.
• get_keys.py - This gets the key annotations of a given file.
