Part II explores analytical implications of the partitional model and outlines a methodology for the analysis of note-against-note and free inversional settings. The analyses use the set-class inventories for even and odd index...

Section 1 introduces the problem of “transportability,” noting that it is sometimes impossible to say whether two...
