Review of: David Temperley, The Cognition of Basic Musical Structures Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2001, 404 pp. ISBN 0-262-20134-8.

In The Cognition of Basic Musical Structures, David Temperley presents a computational theory of music cognition that is deeply influenced by Lerdahl and Jackendoff’s (1983) A Generative Theory of Tonal Music (henceforth, GTTM). Like Lerdahl and Jackendoff, Temperley attempts to explain the cognition of commonpractice music by means of a system that generates structural descriptions from musica...

Comparing Pitch Spelling Algorithms

A pitch spelling algorithm predicts the pitch names of the notes in a musical passage when given the onset-time, MIDI note number and possibly the duration and voice of each note. Various versions of the algorithms of LonguetHiggins, Cambouropoulos, Temperley and Sleator, Chew and Chen, and Meredith were run on a corpus containing 195972 notes, equally divided between eight classical and baroqu...

Title of Invention: Method of Computing the Pitch Names of Notes in Midi-like Music Representations Inventor’s Name:

METHOD OF COMPUTING THE PITCH NAMES OF NOTES IN MIDI-LIKE MUSIC REPRESENTATIONS The invention described here consists of an algorithmic method called ps13 that reliably computes the correct pitch names (e.g., C]4, B[5 etc.) of the notes in a passage of tonal music, when given only the onset-time and MIDI note number of each note in the passage. The ps13 algorithm has been shown to be more relia...
