`pynbs` makes it possible to easily iterate over Note Block Studio songs.

```python
import pynbs

for tick, chord in pynbs.read('demo_song.nbs'):
    print(tick, [note.key for note in chord])
```

You can also use `pynbs` to generate new songs programmatically.

```python
import pynbs

new_file = pynbs.new_file(song_name='Hello world')
new_file.notes.extend([
    pynbs.Note(tick=i, layer=0, instrument=0, key=i + 35) for i in range(10)
])

new_file.save('new_file.nbs')
```

## Installation

The package can be installed with `pip`.

```bash
$ pip install pynbs
```

The latest release follows the latest version of the NBS file format
[specification](https://opennbs.org/nbs)
(version 5). However, it also allows you to load and save files in any of
the older versions.

## Basic usage

### Reading files

You can use the `read()` function to read and parse a specific NBS file.

```python
demo_song = pynbs.read('demo_song.nbs')
```

The `read()` function returns a `pynbs` file object. These objects have several
attributes that mirror the binary structure of NBS files.

#### Header

The first attribute is `header`, the file header. It contains information about
the file.

```python
header = demo_song.header
```

Attribute                   | Type    | Details
:---------------------------|:--------|:------------------------------------------------
`header.version`            | `int`   | The NBS version this file was saved on.
`header.default_instruments`| `int`   | The amount of instruments from vanilla Minecraft in the song.
`header.song_length`        | `int`   | The length of the song, measured in ticks.
`header.song_layers`        | `int`   | The ID of the last layer with at least one note block in it.
`header.song_name`          | `str`   | The name of the song.
`header.song_author`        | `str`   | The author of the song.
`header.original_author`    | `str`   | The original song author of the song.
`header.description`        | `str`   | The description of the song.
`header.tempo`              | `float` | The tempo of the song.
`header.auto_save`          | `bool`  | Whether auto-saving has been enabled.
`header.auto_save_duration` | `int`   | The amount of minutes between each auto-save.
`header.time_signature`     | `int`   | The time signature of the song.
`header.minutes_spent`      | `int`   | The amount of minutes spent on the project.
`header.left_clicks`        | `int`   | The amount of times the user has left-clicked.
`header.right_clicks`       | `int`   | The amount of times the user has right-clicked.
`header.blocks_added`       | `int`   | The amount of times the user has added a block.
`header.blocks_removed`     | `int`   | The amount of times the user has removed a block.
`header.song_origin`        | `str`   | The file name of the original MIDI or schematic.
`header.loop`               | `bool`  | Whether the song should loop back to the start after ending.
`header.max_loop_count`     | `int`   | The amount of times to loop. 0 = infinite.
`header.loop_start`         | `int`   | The tick the song will loop back to at the end of playback.

#### Notes

The `notes` attribute holds a list of all the notes of the song in order.

```python
first_note = demo_song.notes[0]
```

Attribute         | Type  | Details
:---------------- |:------|:------------------------------------------------
`note.tick`       | `int` | The tick at which the note plays.
`note.layer`      | `int` | The ID of the layer in which the note is placed.
`note.instrument` | `int` | The ID of the instrument.
`note.key`        | `int` | The key of the note. (between 0 and 87)
`note.velocity`   | `int` | The velocity of the note. (between 0 and 100)
`note.panning`    | `int` | The stereo panning of the note. (between -100 and 100)
`note.pitch`      | `int` | The detune of the note, in cents. (between -1200 and 1200)

#### Layers

The `layers` attribute holds a list of all the layers of the song in order.

```python
first_layer = demo_song.layers[0]
```

Attribute         | Type  | Details
:-----------------|:------|:------------------------
`layer.id`        | `int` | The ID of the layer.
`layer.name`      | `str` | The name of the layer.
`layer.lock`      | `bool`| Whether the layer is locked.
`layer.volume`    | `int` | The volume of the layer.
`layer.panning`   | `int` | The stereo panning of the layer.

#### Instruments

The `instruments` attribute holds a list of all the custom instruments of the
song in order.

```python
first_custom_instrument = demo_song.instruments[0]
```

Attribute              | Type   | Details
:----------------------|:-------|:----------------------------------------------------------
`instrument.id`        | `int`  | The ID of the instrument.
`instrument.name`      | `str`  | The name of the instrument.
`instrument.file`      | `str`  | The name of the sound file of the instrument.
`instrument.pitch`     | `int`  | The pitch of the instrument. (between 0 and 87)
`instrument.press_key` | `bool` | Whether the piano should automatically press keys with the instrument when the marker passes them.

### Iterating over songs

Iterating over a `pynbs` file object yields consecutively all the chords of the song with
the associated tick.

```python
for tick, chord in demo_song:
    ...
```

`chord` is a list of all the notes that play during the tick `tick`.

### Creating new files

You can create new files using the `new_file()` function. The function lets
you specify header attributes with keyword arguments.

```python
new_file = pynbs.new_file(song_name='Hello world')
```

The function returns a new `pynbs` file object that you can now edit
programmatically.

### Saving files

You can use the `save()` method to encode and write the file to a specified
location.

```python
new_file.save('new_file.nbs')
```

By default, the file will be saved in the latest NBS version available.
To save the file in an older version, you can use the `version` parameter:

```python
# This will save the song in the classic format.
new_file.save('new_file.nbs', version=0)
```

(Keep in mind some of the song properties may be lost when saving in older versions.)

### Upgrading old files

While `pynbs` is up-to-date with the latest version of the Open Note Block Studio
specification, all previous versions — including the original file format — are still
supported by the `read()` function, making it possible to bulk upgrade songs to the
most recent version:

```python
import glob
import pynbs

for old_file in glob.glob('*.nbs'):
    pynbs.read(old_file).save(old_file)
```

## Contributing

Contributions are welcome. Make sure to first open an issue discussing the problem or the new feature before creating a pull request. The project uses [`poetry`](https://python-poetry.org/).
