Spotify API

In the Spotify API, ‘key’ maps to pitch class and ‘mode’ distinguishes between major (1) and minor (0) key, which can be represented as a Python dictionary thusly:

		(0,1):'8B',
		(1,1):'3B',
		(2,1):'10B',
		(3,1):'5B',
		(4,1):'12B',
		(5,1):'7B',
		(6,1):'2B',
		(7,1):'9B',
		(8,1):'4B',
		(9,1):'11B',
		(10,1):'6B',
		(11,1):'1B',
		(0,0):'5A',
		(1,0):'12A',
		(2,0):'7A',
		(3,0):'2A',
		(4,0):'9A',
		(5,0):'4A',
		(6,0):'11A',
		(7,0):'6A',
		(8,0):'1A',
		(9,0):'8A',
		(10,0):'3A',
		(11,0):'10A',

Python Dictionary

Here’s a Python dictionary that can be used in a function to convert Camelot key values (“8B”) to their tonal counterparts (“C, B♯”).

camelot_to_tone = {'8B':'C, B♯','3B':'C♯, D♭','10B':'D','5B':'D♯, E♭','12B':'E','7B':'F','2B':'F♯, G♭','9B':'G','4B':'G♯, A♭','11B':'A','6B':'A♯, B♭','1B':'B','5A':'Cm','12A':'D♭m','7A':'Dm','2A':'E♭m','9A':'Em','4A':'Fm','11A':'G♭m','6A':'Gm','1A':'A♭m','8A':'Am','3':'B♭m','10A':'Bm'}
