music21 5.7.2 released -- Python 3.8 supported

Music21 v5.7.2 has been released.

This release adds basic support for running music21 v5 on Python 3.8 — the full test suite does not pass on py 3.8 but the differences there appear to be cosmetic.

If you are using Python 3.8 run:

pip install --upgrade music21

About music21

Music21 is a flexible toolkit for computer-aided musicology. The project is based at M.I.T. in the Music and Theater Arts section.

For more information, contact Michael Scott Cuthbert (cuthbert [at] mit.edu), principal investigator.

The music21 lab includes many top M.I.T. and Harvard undergraduate programmers. Music21 is sponsored by a grant from the Seaver Institute and the Digging into Data Challenge of the N.E.H..

This blog will discuss the music21 project, of course, but also highlight other interesting developments in computer-aided musicology by other researchers.
