musicMCT: Analyze the Structure of Musical Scales
Description
Analysis of musical scales (& modes, grooves, etc.) in the vein of Sherrill 2025 doi:10.1215/00222909-11595194. The initials MCT in the package title refer to the article's title: "Modal Color Theory." Offers support for conventional musical pitch class set theory as developed by Forte (1973, ISBN: 9780300016109) and David Lewin (1987, ISBN: 9780300034936), as well as for the continuous geometries of Callender, Quinn, & Tymoczko (2008) doi:10.1126/science.1153021. Identifies structural properties of scales and calculates derived values (sign vector, color number, brightness ratio, etc.). Creates plots such as "brightness graphs" which visualize these properties.
