Computational Music Theory and Analysis

Problem Set 4: Equivalence, Representation, and Intervals

These questions will help strengthen your understanding of what we might mean by equal pitches/notes, and get a better sense of how pitches and durations (a) might be represented and (b) are represented in music21, and (3) figure out why working with intervals is so hard.

Note: there is a property on Note and Pitch objects called diatonicNoteNum which you may not use in this problem set. However, you may use it after this problem set, so feel free to learn what it is and why it might be important.
