Systems and methods for analyzing melodies

摘要

In one embodiment, a system for analyzing melodies is disclosed that may receive data for a musical composition, the data including a sequence of notes that make up a melody contained in the musical composition, and store, in a database, a pitch and a duration for at least one note in the sequence of notes in association with the melody. In addition, the system may determine at least one pitch differential and at least one duration ratio for at least two consecutive notes in the sequence of notes, and store, in the database, the at least one pitch differential and the at least one duration ratio in association with the melody. The system may also generate at least one metric associated with the melody based on the at least one pitch differential and/or the at least one duration ratio.

1. A system comprising:
a memory device storing software instructions; a database; and a processor configured to execute the software instructions to:
receive data for a musical composition, wherein the data includes a sequence of notes that make up a melody contained in the musical composition;store, in the database, a numerical value of a pitch and a numerical value for a duration for each of at least two notes in the sequence of notes, wherein the values for the pitch and the duration are stored in association with the melody;determine numerical value for each of at least one pitch differential and at least one duration ratio for at least two consecutive notes in the sequence of notes;store, in the database, the numerical values for the at least one pitch differential and the at least one duration ratio in association with the melody; anddetermine a numerical value for at least one metric associated with the melody wherein the at least one metric is different from and based on the numerical value for at least one of the at least one pitch differential and the at least one duration ratioand store, in the database, the numerical value for the at least one metric in association with the melody.
