Features
- Enharmonic Note Selection: Provides a user-friendly interface for choosing a specific enharmonic spelling.
- Customizable Appearance: Supports theming via CSS custom properties and slots. You can set a background color for each note pitch, and the component will automatically calculate a high-contrast text color.
- Event Handling: Dispatches an
enharmonic-note-selectedevent when the user makes a selection, providing the selected note name and note integer. - Attributes and Properties:
selected-note-nameattribute: Sets the initially selected note name.selectedNoteNameproperty: Gets or sets the selected note name.selectedNoteIntegerproperty (read-only): Gets the integer representation of the selected note (0-11).noteColorGroupproperty: Sets an array of 12 color strings for theming.root-notes-onlyattribute: A boolean attribute that, when present, restricts the selection to only standard root notes.
- Random Selection: Includes a public method to programmatically select a random note.
Styling with CSS Custom Properties
The component's appearance can be customized in several ways.
Customizing Icons with Slots
You can replace the default icons for the main button and the close button using HTML slots.
-
Main Button Icon: Provide an element (like an
<img>or<svg>or even<p>Choose A Note</p>) directly inside the<enharmonic-note-selector>tag. This will replace the default musical note icon that appears when no note is selected. -
Close Button Icon: To replace the 'X' icon in the dialog, add an element with the attribute
slot="close-dialog-icon".
<enharmonic-note-selector> <!-- This SVG replaces the default main button icon --> <svg><!-- your custom svg --></svg> <!-- This SVG replaces the default close icon in the dialog --> <svg slot="close-dialog-icon"><!-- your custom svg --></svg> </enharmonic-note-selector>
Sizing and Padding using ::part()
The main button inside the component is exposed via a shadow part named
main-button. This allows you to directly style its padding, font, and other
properties from your global stylesheet. This is the recommended way to control
the component's size and internal spacing.
enharmonic-note-selector::part(main-button) { border: 1px solid currentColor; border-radius: 0.6em; padding: 0.3em 1em; } enharmonic-note-selector::part(main-button):hover { background-color: color-mix(in srgb, currentColor 20%, transparent 80%); }
Adding Note Colors
You can set a background color for each of the 12 note pitches using CSS custom
properties or the noteColorGroup JavaScript property. The component will
automatically calculate and apply a high-contrast text color (black or
white) to ensure readability.
The available properties are --note-color-0 through --note-color-11.
--note-color-0: Color for pitch 0 (C, B♯, D♭♭)--note-color-1: Color for pitch 1 (C♯, D♭)- ...and so on for all 12 pitches.
You can set these in your CSS:
enharmonic-note-selector { --note-color-0: #ff0000; /* Red for C */ --note-color-1: #ff7f00; /* Orange for C# */ --note-color-2: #ffff00; /* Yellow for D */ /* ... etc. */ }
