Truly stunned and saddened to learn of her death. By happy accident I discovered Hachyderm soon after I started really using Mastodon. I was very impressed with the space Kris created and the community she fostered there.
My heart breaks for those who knew her personally, and for her family and loved ones.
Instead of Google Analytics look at Matomo. Since you are self-hosting Nextcloud, standing up a self-hosted Matomo instance won't be difficult. https://matomo.org
Amazon agreed to terms that allows Disney to behave in a manner upsetting to their customers.
Sure, Disney might not have signed on otherwise, but sometimes I wish Amazon, Netflix et al. would put up a tougher fight for pro-consumer rules on their platforms.
Amazon allowed Disney to remove access. You'll never see a company telling Amazon to recall physical goods it mailed out to people (without compensation no less).
Thats because Apple and other physical goods companies don't have a rider in their contracts with Amazon stating they can somehow force Amazon's customers to return their physical purchases. The contract they have with Disney allows Disney to do just that if they please.
This is just painful. Instruments do not have scales. Music is written in different keys, and often modulates to another key and back again during the piece. In order to cover the range of pitches, different clefs are used to make the notation easier to read. Piano music is written in two clefs, bass and treble, centered around "middle C". This is called the grand staff. Depending upon an instrument's range different clefs are used. Violoncellos use bass, tenor, and treble clef. Violas use alto clef.
Scales are a function that acts upon the set of pitches used in music. A C major scale has the pitches C, D, E, F, G, A, and B. A G major scale (function) has the pitches G, A, B, C, D, E, and F#.
"Mapping relative pitches to a scale" is nonsensical. A scale (function) is an absolute set of pitches, immutable.
There are two forms of solfège (do, re, mi, ...): fixed and moveable. In moveable the first pitch of the scale is always do. In fixed the pitch called C is always do. Watch "The Sounds of Music" to learn the solfège for a major scale, it's the do-re-mi song. There are other syllables used for the three minor scale forms. To my knowledge (admittedly not complete) Italy, France, and perhaps England used a fixed-do system, whereas the rest of the world uses a moveable-so system.
Actually, most trumpets, harmonicas, and many classes of flute are restricted to diatonic scales. You'll have a hard time finding a chromatic trumpet outside of a museum.
There's more to music than western chromaticism or indeed harmonic theory.
You've just used a bunch of words that sounds smart, but provide deceptive value. The typical Bb valved trumpet that exists now does indeed play chromatically. And so will any other class of modern brass instrument with three valves or more.
The chromatic trumpet is an invention that allowed us to escape the trumpets natural harmonic series (Those being the notes a trumpet can play in a single valve position) before valves were invented by drilling holes along its tubes.
Wikipedia is not the best place to learn music theory, and knowing music theory is as useful as knowing a list of rules for programming best practice.
I was incorrect about trumpets, but not about other instruments. My point that many instruments are restricted to a particular scale is entirely correct.
Also, I was playing and recording music since before wikipedia even came into existence, so dial back those assumptions.
You'll have a hard time finding a chromatic trumpet outside of a museum.
This is kind of a confusing statement to me. Most instruments called "trumpets" where I come from are valved instruments which are fully capable of producing chromatics. (Maybe this is technically incorrect and we should be properly calling them "cornets" or something, I don't know.)
My point is, you certainly don't have to go to a museum to find one, and I expect, in a museum (of history anyway), any trumpet you'd find would be more likely to to be valveless and non-chromatic.
My heart breaks for those who knew her personally, and for her family and loved ones.
