music21 getElementsByClass not showing any output for class stream.Voice - midi

I am struggling to understand why the below code is throwing an error when it ran seamlessly about a year back. The code snippet is from a popular Coursera course. Does the Music21 package has some recent changes around stream.Voice?
data_fn = 'data/original_metheny.mid'
midi_data = converter.parse(data_fn)
melody_stream = midi_data[5] # For Metheny piece, Melody is Part #5.
melody1, melody2 = melody_stream.getElementsByClass(stream.Voice)
The error thrown is ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 0), which means there is no output for stream.Voice class when previously there were outputs for the same data (midi file). melody_stream.getElementsByClass('Measure') does show outputs.
Can you guide how to debug this?

Yes, one of the improvements in music21 v.7 is that files imported from MIDI now have a similar representation to files imported from MusicXML and other formats. Specifically, Parts now have Measures, which may or may not have Voices, rather than Parts directly containing Voices. Code should not depend on finding Voices directly contained in Parts, which is what this example was doing.
Instead, use this code to find all the measure-voices:
melody_stream.recurse().getElementsByClass(stream.Voice)
Or, equivalently, use the shortcut syntax in v.7:
melody_stream[stream.Voice]
Or, if you don't want the measures at all, call flatten() or chordify() depending on your use case.

What worked for me was downgrading music21 package to a version older than 7.x. So if you already have a newer version of music21 package installed, remove it using pip uninstall music21, Then install the 6.7.0 version using pip install music21==6.7.0.

iemmatrix [mtx_*] couldn't create in PureData

I am working on an old internal project. I am working on windows. The puredata I am using is on 32bit.
There are some objects like [mtx_*~] [mtx_:] [mtx_.^] [mtx_circular_harmonics] have "couldn't create" error.
I have iemmatrix installed through "find external".
I tried older versions of Puredata extended or several versions of vanilla. I can't create mtx_, either.
From pd/externals/iemmatrix, I can find a file called "mtx_0x2a0x7e.dll", which I think is "mtx_~" after decoding.
There is not much information on the internet about it anymore.
The "official" version (not the one with the 'extended' suffix) is compiled as a multi-object library. So you have to load the library first, either with a command line flag '-lib iemmatrix' or with a [declare -lib iemmatrix] object in your patch (The latter is much preferred as it makes your patch more portable). When loaded, iemmatrix prints a greeter to the Pd console window:
iemmatrix 0.3.2
objects for manipulating 2d-matrices
(c) 2001-2015 iem
IOhannes m zmölnig
Thomas Musil
Franz Zotter
compiled Sep 6 2019 : 12:07:54
After that you can create objects like [mtx_*~]
The version 'v0.0-extended' was added to facilitate the migration away from now retired Pd-extended. Since it is compiled as a one-object-per-file library and many of the those objects have names that cannot easily be used in filenames, Pd-extended used a trick with an additional hexloader library that translates hex encoded filenames to the actual name of the objects. For being able to load objects from the extended version, you would have to install and load 'hexloader' first.
Having said that, it is highly recommended to use the official version which is actively maintained while the extended version is not and is there for historical reasons.

One script using packages that are incompatible with one version of R

I am currently analysing movement data using the script provided by Lascelles et al (2016) in their paper "Applying global criteria to tracking data to define important areas for marine conservation". I have made some changes and additions to the script and now face the problem that the different packages needed do not work within the same version of R.
I am using the package "trip" which from what I can see works with >=3.2.5 but depends on spatstat which works with >=3.3.0. The script also uses the overlay function from the "sp" package, however this function has been deprecated, thus in order to run needs an older version of R (I have previously used version 3.0.3.
Is there a way to use multiple versions of R within the same project, or would I have to rewrite the script to avoid using functions that do not work within the same R version?
If you don't need any of the new functions/features introduced in the later versions of trip and spatstat I think you can just use the checkpoint package and install the versions from an earlier date. There is a nice vignette you can have a look at, but basically you just do something like:
install.packages("checkpoint")
library(checkpoint)
checkpoint("2016-01-01")

Using classes in TCL using Simple Agent Pro

I am using this software called Simple Agent Pro, and it primarily uses TCL code. I was wondering anybody familiar with TCL or Sapro would be kind enough to tell me how to import the modules into the .tel file for Sapro.
When I try this:
package require tclOO.h
The program stops working.
Any help would be appreciated.
I don't know Simple Agent Pro at all, but if you're doing a “guerilla install” of TclOO then you need a few things:
Make sure you're using Tcl 8.5 (see what package require Tcl returns).
If you're using 8.4 (note: 8.4 EOLed this month), TclOO will not work at all (and it cannot be backported).
If you're using 8.6, it already provides the TclOO package and you shouldn't need to fuss around with all this.
Do a build of TclOO and install it to a location you prefer.
This will require Tcl's internal source files; TclOO explicitly pokes its nose into places where most code shouldn't.
You probably don't need to have a custom build of 8.5; just the configured sources somewhere will do. (You might need to hack the configure scripts a little bit.)
Add the location that you installed TclOO to to the search path inside your Tcl 8.5 program.
lappend auto_path /the_dir/you_put/it_in
If you're using Windows, it's probably easiest to use forward slashes for this path anyway (this is a directory name that is always highly protected before it hits the OS, so that's OK).
Now you should be able to require/use the package.
package require TclOO
oo::class create Foo {
# etc.
}
Note that the case and exactly how you write it matters. The version you get ought to be at least 1.0 (earlier versions were for development only) which corresponds exactly with the API as supported in Tcl 8.6 (modulo a few things that require 8.6 for other reasons, such as being able to yield inside a method which only works in 8.6 because that's where yield was first defined).
You probably mean
package require TclOO
Case and other stuff is important there.
Next time you should also include the stack trace. If the program stops working, it should display that either as dialog or on stdout.

How do I find all the modules used by a Perl script?

I'm getting ready to try to deploy some code to multiple machines. As far as I know, using a Makefile.pm to track dependencies is the best way to ensure they are installed everywhere. The problem I have is I'm not sure our Makefile.pm has been updated as this application has passed through a few different developers.
Is there any way to automatically parse through either my source or a few full runs of my program to determine exactly what versions of what modules my application is depending on? On top of that, is there any way to filter it based on CPAN packages? (So that I only depend on Moose instead of every single module that comes with Moose.)
A third related question is, if you depend on a version of a module that is not the latest, what is the best way to have someone else install it? Should I start including entire localized Perl installations with my application?
Just to be clear - you can not generically get a list of modules that the app depends on by code analysis alone. E.g. if your apps does eval { require $module; $module->import() }, where $module is passed via command line, then this can ONLY be detected by actually running the specific command line version with ALL the module values.
If you do wish to do this, you can figure out every module used by a combination of runs via:
Devel::Cover. Coverage reports would list 100% of modules used. But you don't get version #s.
Print %INC at every single possible exit point in the code as slu's answer said. This should probably be done in END{} block as well as __DIE__ handler to cover all possible exit points, and even then may be not fully 100% covering in generic case if somewhere within the program your __DIE__ handler gets overwritten.
Devel::Modlist (also mentioned by slu's answer) - the downside compared to Devel::Cover is that it does NOT seem to be able to aggregate a database across multiple sample runs like Devel::Cover does. On the plus side, it's purpose-built, so has a lot of very useful options (CPAN paths, versions).
Please note that the other module (Module::ScanDeps) does NOT seem to allow you to do runtime analysis based on arbitrary command line arguments (e.g. it seems at first glance to only allow you to execute the program with no arguments) and if that's true, is inferior to all the above 3 methods for any code that may possibly load modules dynamically.
Module::ScanDeps - Recursively scan Perl code for dependencies
Does both static and runtime scanning. Just modules, I don't know of any exact way of verifying what versions from what distributions. You could get old packages from BackPan, or just package your entire chain of local dependencies up with PAR.
You could look at %INC, see http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=681911 which also mentions Devel::Modlist
I would definitely use Devel::TraceUse, which also shows a tree of the modules, so it's easy to guess where they are being loaded.

Failed to find library 'powerlib' matlab. Simulink program executing

When I tried to run a Simulink program under my R2009a Matlab, it showed an error message as follows: Failed to find library 'powerlib' referenced by 'dcmotor_openloop/Armature Current '. This library must be on your MATLAB path.
I'm wondering where I can find this powerlib.
As #Edric mentioned, powerlib is built into SimPowerSystems. The error you see can thus have two causes
(1) There is no installation of SimPowerSystems in your copy of Matlab. Type ver at the command prompt to check for what toolboxes you have installed. If SimPowerSystems doesn't show up in the list, you will have to get the toolbox, otherwise you won't be able to run the model.
(2) Your installation of SimPowerSystems is somehow corrupt. This has never happened to me in Matlab so far, but with modern technology, anything is possible. A fresh install should solve this.
powerlib is a Simulink library shipped as part of SimPowerSystems, see the product page here: http://www.mathworks.com/products/simpower/.
This should really be a comment on another answer, but I can't comment due to reputation.
From at least R2016b, perhaps earlier too, It's no longer called SimPowerSystems. It's now SimscapePowerSystems. You need that plus the bare Simscape package installed.
