... similarities between pairs of contours with different lengths, and fewer still can measure shared characteristics among an entire family of contours. This article introduces a new method for evaluating familial similarities between related contours, even if the contours have different cardinalities. The model...

This notation identifies pitches solely by their relative height, thereby eschewing any reference to specific interval size and effectively transforming pitches in pitch space into contour pitches in contour space. The variable end-point mechanism this procedure...

... approximate chord categories much of their significance. The approach is most useful for chords with five or fewer notes and works tolerably for hexachords, but it breaks down with larger collections. This is not a failure of the model but a reflection of the fact that quality space contracts as cardinality...

1.2 QUESTION 1: What are necessary and sufficient conditions on a
pair <X,Y> of pcsets, that they should be a constant-IFUNC pair?
Because <X,Y <X*,Y>, and <X*,Y*> are such pairs if and only if
<X,Y> is, we may restrict our attention to X and Y of cardinality less than
or equal to 6.
We can...
