Project description
MusiContour: musical contour relations calculator
by Marcos da Silva Sampaio and Pedro Kröger (Genos Research Group [1])
This is a software to calculate and plot musical contour relations operations. MusiContour can process contour related to parameters such as pitch, duration, dynamics and chord density. This software provides Contour Theories functions [2].
MusiContour had two names before its current one: Goiaba (2007), a software developed to process musical contours, during Marcos da Silva Sampaio master’s degree [3], and Villa-Lobos Contour module, a module of Villa-Lobos [4], and is now independent.
MusiContour is part of Marcos da Silva Sampaio PhD project about musical contour relations. More information about these project is available in [5], in portuguese.
