- diffeomorphism 7y agoDuh, but that was not the question. The question was how common that is in practice? Take the key recognizable seconds of top # songs of the last # years. What percentage will or will not fall under this algorithm (possibly after normalizing the key)? Not 100% seems obvious, but is it 90%? 50%? 5%?
- 0xff00ffee 7y agoI went to Billboard's hot 100. I picked the top 10 songs. The Box: Roddy Rich - It's 4/4 and the vocals use triplets and 16ths; basically monotone, very few pitches --> does not fit Life is Good: Featuring Drake - 4/4 with triplet phrasing; basically monotone, very few pitches used --> does not fit Post Malone Circles - 4/4, 16th note vocal phrasing at points, no swing feel, the main melody and chorus are free of accidentals, it uses no swing feel --> does not fit Dance Monkey: Tones and I - 4/4 with swing; accidentals in the chorus (chromatic descent) --> does not fit Don't Start Nau: Dua Lipa - Literally all triplets over 4/4 in verse... --> does not fit : : ugh. I can't listen to any more of these awful (IMHO) songs, but so far 0% fit "4/4, 8th note divisions, no accidentals" that was used to generate the 68B patterns.
