Gen-Choralis: How to bypass voice leading ?


Recommended Posts

Dear All,

 

From the example below I suppose that choralis function applyes some voice-leading in the progression provided. Maybe to generate some more singable sequence ? (maybe not...)

For example, here I provide my classic test-debuggin harmony:

(setf chords2 (gen-trim 31 '(a3b3e4gs4 gs3eb4g4bb4 cs3a3b3e4 gs2f3bb3d4 gs2e3b3eb4 eb3b3cs4fs4 a2e3eb4b4 fs2cs3c4gs4 d3gs3b3g4 b3e4fs4a4

(setf lengths (gen-prob 31 '((h .4) (q .2) (h. .4) (q .3)
                             (-h .2) (-q .3) (w .5)) :seed 441896))

(setf velocity (gen-prob 31 '((p .4) (mp .4) (mf .3) (f .2)) :seed 435))

(setf chords (gen-choralis lengths chords2 :velocity velocity))

(choralis chords
          :index 'v
          :seed 653886
          :methods '(:soprano dyn
                     :alto dyn
                     :tenor dyn
                     :bass dyn))

     :sq

    ;:time-signature timesig
    :tempo 90

    :title

:display :window)

 

But in the processed score, given in the example below,  the initial harmony is probably  processed with some undesired voice-leading.

Is possible to use choralis without the voice-leading, i.e., outputting LITERALLY the initial harmony  ? Some keyword ?

The chords at the gen-choralis stage looks to be rigth, but the Choralis splitting itself make some undesirable (for my specific purpose) closest-path voice-leading.

Best !

Julio
