Help Parsing JSON data

1

Hi All

I’m running this function on a button click that returns JSON data

          window.scoreView.getScore().done(function(scoreData) {
// do something with the returned score data

 hypeDocument.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = JSON.stringify(scoreData, null, "  ");
});

I’m currently just writing the JSON data to an element. I don’t need this functionality, I’m just doing it to show the data.

Which for my example (see attached file) returns the following JSON data:

{ "staves": [ { "measures": [ { "noteSets": [ { "position": 0, "duration": 1, "voice": 0, "beam": false, "notes": [ { "pitch": 60, "step": 0, "alteration": 0, "accidental": null, "noteHead": null, "tied": false } ] }, { "position": 1, "duration": 1, "voice": 0, "beam": false, "notes": [] }, { "position": 2, "duration": 2, "voice": 0, "beam": false, "notes": [] } ] } ] } ] }

I’d like to be able to do a couple of things with the “pitch” data:

  1. If the pitch is evaluated as something other than 60 I’d like to run a timeline or some other javascript.

…and 2.) If the pitch is a specific number like say 62, I’d like to be able to run a timeline or some other document.

I’ve spent a ton of time on this just getting this far so anyone that can help me get over the finish line that would be so, so awesome. Thanks in advance!

Well they couldn’t of made that more a pain. Objects within arrays within Objects…

scoreData.staves[0].measures[0].noteSets[0].notes[0].pitch)

You do not need the JSON.stringify

var pitch = scoreData.staves[0].measures[0].noteSets[0].notes[0].pitch;
  
  
  hypeDocument.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = pitch;

sometimes a jslibrary is nice to handle complex jsondata.

in your case for jsonQ (11kb weight) it’ll be sthg like

var _pitches = jsonQ(yourJson).find('pitch') //return -> array; pitches[0].value() //eg = first value for pitch

Thanks Mark and Hans. This is so helpful!

I sometimes need to find the value of two or more of the objects for example I want to evaluate a note in a certain ‘stave’ in a certain ‘measure.’

Would Han’s library be recommended or is there a more basic way to do this?

For example, how would I target the second note in the second stave in the second measure of this:

{ "staves": [ { "measures": [ { "noteSets": [ { "position": 0, "duration": 1, "voice": 0, "beam": false, "notes": [ { "pitch": 55, "step": 4, "alteration": 0, "accidental": null, "noteHead": null, "tied": false } ] }, { "position": 1, "duration": 0.5, "voice": 0, "beam": true, "notes": [ { "pitch": 57, "step": 5, "alteration": 0, "accidental": null, "noteHead": null, "tied": false } ] }, { "position": 1.5, "duration": 0.5, "voice": 0, "beam": false, "notes": [ { "pitch": 59, "step": 6, "alteration": 0, "accidental": null, "noteHead": null, "tied": false } ] }, { "position": 2, "duration": 1, "voice": 0, "beam": false, "notes": [ { "pitch": 60, "step": 0, "alteration": 0, "accidental": null, "noteHead": null, "tied": false } ] }, { "position": 3, "duration": 1, "voice": 0, "beam": false, "notes": [ { "pitch": 64, "step": 2, "alteration": 0, "accidental": null, "noteHead": null, "tied": false } ] } ] }, { "noteSets": [ { "position": 0, "duration": 1, "voice": 0, "beam": false, "notes": [ { "pitch": 62, "step": 1, "alteration": 0, "accidental": null, "noteHead": null, "tied": false } ] }, { "position": 1, "duration": 1, "voice": 0, "beam": false, "notes": [ { "pitch": 59, "step": 6, "alteration": 0, "accidental": null, "noteHead": null, "tied": false } ] }, { "position": 2, "duration": 2, "voice": 0, "beam": false, "notes": [ { "pitch": 60, "step": 0, "alteration": 0, "accidental": null, "noteHead": null, "tied": false } ] } ] } ] }, { "measures": [ { "noteSets": [ { "position": 0, "duration": 1, "voice": 0, "beam": false, "notes": [ { "pitch": 53, "step": 3, "alteration": 0, "accidental": null, "noteHead": null, "tied": false } ] }, { "position": 1, "duration": 0.5, "voice": 0, "beam": true, "notes": [ { "pitch": 55, "step": 4, "alteration": 0, "accidental": null, "noteHead": null, "tied": false } ] }, { "position": 1.5, "duration": 0.5, "voice": 0, "beam": false, "notes": [ { "pitch": 57, "step": 5, "alteration": 0, "accidental": null, "noteHead": null, "tied": false } ] }, { "position": 2, "duration": 1, "voice": 0, "beam": false, "notes": [ { "pitch": 59, "step": 6, "alteration": 0, "accidental": null, "noteHead": null, "tied": false } ] }, { "position": 3, "duration": 1, "voice": 0, "beam": false, "notes": [ { "pitch": 62, "step": 1, "alteration": 0, "accidental": null, "noteHead": null, "tied": false } ] } ] }, { "noteSets": [ { "position": 0, "duration": 1, "voice": 0, "beam": false, "notes": [ { "pitch": 60, "step": 0, "alteration": 0, "accidental": null, "noteHead": null, "tied": false } ] }, { "position": 1, "duration": 1, "voice": 0, "beam": false, "notes": [ { "pitch": 57, "step": 5, "alteration": 0, "accidental": null, "noteHead": null, "tied": false } ] }, { "position": 2, "duration": 2, "voice": 0, "beam": false, "notes": [ { "pitch": 59, "step": 6, "alteration": 0, "accidental": null, "noteHead": null, "tied": false } ] } ] } ] } ] }Check Note

Would I edit Mark’s code somehow:
var pitch = scoreData.staves[0].measures[0].noteSets[0].notes[0].pitch;

Where the stave array is 0 for first stave and 1 for second stave etc.
I believe the array for measure would be the same, 0 for measure 1 and 1 for measure 2.

“position” is the offset for each measure so position: 1 would target the second note.

grrr… I am beginning to hate this data.

var pitch = scoreData.staves[1].measures[1].noteSets[1].notes[0].pitch

Use the Console to log the data and you will then be able to see what you need.

Thank you so much Mark! This is tremendously helpful!

I have one more hurdle to get over and then I’ll share the project I’m working on.

I’ve researched Switch statements and I’m sure what I’m trying to do is wrong. Not only that but it is not yielding the results I need. I’ve looked up several examples on Stackoverflow and think that maybe I should be using an if…else statement?

	          window.scoreView.getScore().done(function(scoreData) {
    // do something with the returned score data
    
   var pitch = scoreData.staves[1].measures[0].noteSets[0].notes[0].step
    
    
   var pitch2 = scoreData.staves[1].measures[0].noteSets[3].notes[0].step
   
   
   var pitch3 = scoreData.staves[1].measures[1].noteSets[0].notes[0].step
   
   var pitch4 = scoreData.staves[1].measures[1].noteSets[2].notes[0].step
    
   
  
    
    //evaluate 1st entry
        switch(true) {
     case (pitch == "2"):        
     case (pitch == "6"):
     
       hypeDocument.startTimelineNamed('move', hypeDocument.kDirectionForward)
         break; 
         
     
        default:
        hypeDocument.startTimelineNamed('1stentrywrong', hypeDocument.kDirectionForward);
      return;

    }
    
    
    //evaluate 2nd entry 
        switch(true) {
     case (pitch2 == "0"):   
     case (pitch2 == "4"):
       hypeDocument.startTimelineNamed('move', hypeDocument.kDirectionForward)
         break; 
     
            
        default:
        hypeDocument.startTimelineNamed('2ndentrywrong', hypeDocument.kDirectionForward);
       return;

    }
    
    //evalutate 3rd entry
       switch(true) {
     case (pitch3 == "6"):
     case (pitch3 == "3"):
       hypeDocument.startTimelineNamed('move', hypeDocument.kDirectionForward)
         break; 
     
            
        default:
        hypeDocument.startTimelineNamed('3rdentrywrong', hypeDocument.kDirectionForward);
       return;

    }
    
    //evaluate 4th entry
       switch(true) {
     case (pitch4 == "2"):
     case (pitch4 == "5"):
       hypeDocument.startTimelineNamed('move', hypeDocument.kDirectionForward)
         break; 
     
            
        default:
        hypeDocument.startTimelineNamed('4thentrywrong', hypeDocument.kDirectionForward);
       return;

    }  
    
     console.log(scoreData);
    
    
   
  });
  
  score3.focus();

I figured it out! Is this the way you might do it @MarkHunte ?

 //evaluate all entries
    switch(true) {
 case ((pitch == "2" || pitch == "6") && (pitch2 == "0" || pitch2 == "4") && (pitch3 == "6" || pitch3 =="3") && (pitch4 == "2" || pitch4 == "5")):        
 
 
   hypeDocument.startTimelineNamed('move', hypeDocument.kDirectionForward)
     break; 
     
 case ((pitch != "2" || pitch != "6") && (pitch2 == "0" || pitch2 == "4") && (pitch3 == "6" || pitch3 =="3") && (pitch4 == "2" || pitch4 == "5")):        
 
 
   hypeDocument.startTimelineNamed('1stentrywrong', hypeDocument.kDirectionForward)
     break; 
     
  case ((pitch == "2" || pitch == "6") && (pitch2 != "0" || pitch2 != "4") && (pitch3 == "6" || pitch3 =="3") && (pitch4 == "2" || pitch4 == "5")):        
 
 
   hypeDocument.startTimelineNamed('2ndentrywrong', hypeDocument.kDirectionForward)
     break;
     
   case ((pitch == "2" || pitch == "6") && (pitch2 == "0" || pitch2 == "4") && (pitch3 != "6" || pitch3 !="3") && (pitch4 == "2" || pitch4 == "5")):        
 
 
   hypeDocument.startTimelineNamed('3rdentrywrong', hypeDocument.kDirectionForward)
     break;
     
    case ((pitch == "2" || pitch == "6") && (pitch2 == "0" || pitch2 == "4") && (pitch3 == "6" || pitch3 =="3") && (pitch4 != "2" || pitch4 != "5")):        
 
 
   hypeDocument.startTimelineNamed('4thentrywrong', hypeDocument.kDirectionForward)
     break;          
     
 
    default:
   
   return;
