Uses of Humdrum

Dive into the world of music analysis with a focus on traditional categories such as Harmony, Counterpoint, Melody, and Rhythm. This journey extends to analytical styles, computational graphing, and ethnomusicology, offering insights into different perspectives on music analysis. Discover how music can be analyzed without sound, through imported procedures from various fields like Linguistics, Mathematics, and Computer Science. Explore legitimate projects involving data translation, enrichment, and style evaluation linked to MIDI or audio. Unveil sample projects showcasing the diverse approaches to music analysis in a structured, informative manner.
