Python Scripts for Rhythmic Partitioning Analysis

The _Rhythmic Partitioning Analysis_ demands laborious tasks on segmentation and agglomeration/dispersion calculus. Parsemat software runs these tasks and renders indexogram and partitiogram charts. In the present paper, we introduce the Rhythmic …

Contour Similarity Algorithms

The Musical Contour literature provides multiple algorithms for melodic contour similarity. However, most of them are limited in use by the melody length of input data. In this paper I review these algorithms, propose two new algorithms, compare them …

Functional Harmonic Analysis and Computational Musicology in Rameau

In this paper we present the infrastructure for computational musicology and functional harmonic analysis in Rameau, a framework for experimentation with musicological ideas in software. Rameau supports out of the box chord labeling, key finding, …

Rameau: A system for automatic harmonic analysis

Automated harmonic analysis is an important and interesting music research topic. Although many researchers have studied solutions to this problem, there is no comprehensive and systematic comparison of the many techniques proposed. In this paper we …
