Want to measure how "major" or "minor" a musical passage feels on a sliding scale, not just as a simple label? 🤔 Mike Schutz and I refined the concept of 'relative mode', treating it as a continuous spectrum from minor to major. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #musicscience #MIR 1/3
Shows a plot of audio waveform with continuously changing estimation of majorness to minorness (relative mode) in a Bach prelude. It is a screen capture from GitHub.
