Interpreting/Modifying the solo line #18

Open rgefryer opened 9 years ago

rgefryer commented 9 years ago

There's some interesting work in interpreting what is coming out of the soloist.

  1. Identifying compatibiliy/incompatibility with the current chord
  2. Treating glitches, passing notes and held notes appropriately. Glitches we try to ignore; held notes should be one of the main chord notes if not the tonic, passing notes should generally be part of the scale for the current chord.
  3. If a note doesn't fit, do we fix the harmony, fix the note, or leave it. This might depend on how committed the accompaniment is to a particular harmonic route.
  4. Providing some metric for intensity
  5. Possibly adding a duet line

I reckon we should strongly lean towards leaving the melody alone unless certain that the note is errant. Usually prefer to live with a passing clash or adjust the harmony.

And FWIW, I think that (1) is part of ChordSelector and (5) is part of "Harmoniser" (or whatever we call it).

I'm not quite sure what you mean by intensity.

Agree that we shouldn't be too free with melodic corrections. But I do think that if the system is trtying to resolve harmonies, then "fixing" an unpleasant mispitch might be beneficial. It's certainly a feature that would be fun to try.

I think I've discussed intensity elsewhere - but the idea is that volume/dissonance/register/animation are linked in some way, and that the accompaniment can take cues from the performer to follow their "mood".
