Subject: Modeling musical beginning From: Pablo Hernan Rodriguez Zivic <elsonidoq@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 11:13:23 -0300 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Hello everyone! I don't know if you remember me, I'm the crazy one trying to make the computer compose melodies =D I'm going very fast and it seems that I'll finish my grad thesis soon... however I'm kind of stuck with one detail: The model that I'm using for the melodic contour, needs another model for the musical beginning because it's a conditional model based on the lasts notes that have been played. I've heard of a study that analyzes a lot a scores in order to find some pattern in how music begins. Does anyone know about that? Thanks a lot!! Pablo
