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 an equal-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.
