MUSICAL STRUCTURE AND ANALYSIS

Examine Music from Multiple Perspectives

Explore pitch, rhythm, intervals, harmony, density, recurrence and form through symbolic analysis. Opusmodus transforms musical information into measurements, plots, graphs and specialised analytical profiles, making complex relationships easier to identify and compare.

Analyse generated material, imported MusicXML scores or selected passages from an ongoing composition. Because every analytical process is expressed through code, methods can be repeated, adjusted and applied to new musical material.

ANALYSIS TOOLS

Reveal the Structure Within Musical Material

Opusmodus provides analytical functions for investigating complete scores, individual voices and selected musical parameters. Source material can be generated within Opusmodus, written in OMN or imported through MusicXML.

Results can be returned as precise values, descriptive data, graphical plots or specialised analytical profiles. These different views reveal patterns that may be difficult to identify through notation or listening alone.
