Bernard Bel - 2022-03-08

Dear colleagues,

A new process has been implemented on BP3 php interface, fully
documented on page:
https://bolprocessor.org/tonal-analysis/

In brief, it calculates all melodic and harmonic intervals, using
parameters that can be modified. Then it looks for a tonal scale that
has been specified in the item, or it selects a tempered scale. Melodic
and harmonic intervals are drawn in the image of the tonal scale,
highlighting intervals (and note positions) used in the performance.

This process is useful when looking for the best tuning scheme that may
be used for a particular musical work, if "just intonation" (or
consonance) is an issue. I have taken Baroque harpsichord pieces to
illustrate this type of decision.
