music21.analysis.windowed

music21.analysis.discrete

Modular analysis procedures for use alone or applied with music21.analysis.windowed.WindowedAnalysis class. All procedures should inherit from music21.analysis.discrete.DiscreteAnalysis, or provide a similar interface. The music21.analysis.discrete.KrumhanslSchmuckler (for algorithmic key detection) and music21.analysis.discrete.Ambitus (for pitch range analysis) provide examples.

music21.analysis.discrete.analyzeStream(streamObj, *args, **keywords)

Public interface to discrete analysis methods to be applied to a Stream given as an argument. Methods return process-specific data format. See base-classes for details. Analysis methods can be specified as arguments or by use of a method keyword argument. If method is the class name, that class is returned. Otherwise, the indentifiers list of all DiscreteAnalysis subclass objects will be searched for matches. The first match that is found is returned. Ambitus KrumhanslSchmuckler

Ambitus methods

getPitchRanges(subStream)

For a given subStream, return the smallest difference between any two pitches and the largest difference between any two pitches. This is used to get the smallest and largest ambitus possible in a given work.

>>> p = Ambitus()
>>> s = stream.Stream()
>>> c = chord.Chord(['a2', 'b4', 'c8'])
>>> s.append(c)
>>> p.getPitchSpan(s)
(45, 108)
>>> p.getPitchRanges(s)
(26, 63)
>>> s = corpus.parseWork('bach/bwv66.6')
>>> p.getPitchRanges(s)
(0, 34)
getPitchSpan(subStream)

For a given subStream, return the minimum and maximum pitch space value found. This public method may be used by other classes.

>>> from music21 import *
>>> s = corpus.parseWork('bach/bwv66.6')
>>> p = Ambitus()
>>> p.getPitchSpan(s.parts[0].getElementsByClass('Measure')[3])
(66, 71)
>>> p.getPitchSpan(s.parts[0].getElementsByClass('Measure')[6])
(69, 73)
>>> s = stream.Stream()
>>> c = chord.Chord(['a2', 'b4', 'c8'])
>>> s.append(c)
>>> p.getPitchSpan(s)
(45, 108)
getSolution(sStream)

Procedure to only return an Inteval object.

>>> from music21 import *
>>> s = corpus.parseWork('bach/bwv66.6')
>>> p = Ambitus()
>>> p.getSolution(s)
<music21.interval.Interval m21>
process(sStream)

Given a Stream, return a solution (in half steps) and a color string.

>>> from music21 import *
>>> p = analysis.discrete.Ambitus()
>>> s = stream.Stream()
>>> c = chord.Chord(['a2', 'b4', 'c8'])
>>> s.append(c)
>>> p.process(s)
(63, '#665288')
solutionLegend(compress=False)

Return legend data.

>>> from music21 import *
>>> s = corpus.parseWork('bach/bwv66.6')
>>> p = analysis.discrete.Ambitus(s.parts[0]) #provide ref stream
>>> len(p.solutionLegend())
2
>>> [len(x) for x in p.solutionLegend()]
[2, 2]
>>> [len(y) for y in [x for x in p.solutionLegend()]]
[2, 2]
>>> s = corpus.parseWork('bach/bwv66.6')
>>> p = Ambitus()
>>> p.solutionLegend(compress=True) # empty if nothing processed
[['', []], ['', []]]
>>> x = p.process(s.parts[0])
>>> [len(y) for y in [x for x in p.solutionLegend(compress=True)]]
[2, 2]
>>> x = p.process(s.parts[1])
>>> [len(y) for y in [x for x in p.solutionLegend(compress=True)]]
[2, 2]
solutionToColor(result)
>>> from music21 import *
>>> p = Ambitus()
>>> s = stream.Stream()
>>> c = chord.Chord(['a2', 'b4', 'c8'])
>>> s.append(c)
>>> min, max = p.getPitchSpan(s)
>>> p.solutionToColor(max-min).startswith('#')
True
solutionUnitString()
Return a string describing the solution values. Used in Legend formation.

DiscreteAnalysis

class music21.analysis.discrete.DiscreteAnalysis(referenceStream=None)

Parent class for analytical methods. Each analytical method returns a discrete numerical (or other) results as well as a color. Colors can be used in mapping output. Analytical methods may make use of a referenceStream to configure the processor on initialization.

DiscreteAnalysis methods

clearSolutionsFound()
Clear all stored solutions
getColorsUsed()
Based on solutions found so far with with this processor, return the colors that have been used.
getSolution(subStream)
For a given Stream, apply the analysis and return the best solution.
getSolutionsUsed()
Based on solutions found so far with with this processor, return the solutions that have been used.
process(subStream)
Given a Stream, apply the analysis to all components of this Stream. Expected return is a solution (method specific) and a color value.
solutionLegend(compress=False)
A list of pairs showing all discrete results and the assigned color. Data should be organized to be passed to music21.graph.GraphColorGridLegend. If compress is True, the legend will only show values for solutions that have been encountered.
solutionToColor(result)
Given a analysis specific result, return the appropriate color. Must be able to handle None in the case that there is no result.
solutionUnitString()
Return a string describing the solution values. Used in Legend formation.
