Then what is the first chord? The beginning is labelled "Start" What does this mean? Either less than 25% of songs start on the 1 (no way this is possible) or the second chord is mislabeled as a chord change when it stays the same or those with a 1 in the second column started on a chord other than the root and instead of listing that chord, the data is thrown away. Something is messed up here.
- drostie 12y agoWhy is there "no way this is possible"? The 1 is the key, which is to say, the lowest note played in the progression. If it's less than 25% then that means that 4-chord progressions frequently do not choose their minimum as the first note.
- protonfish 12y agoIf you were a musician you'd know that in popular music the vast majority start on the 1 chord. Classical music probably does this less frequently, but it's nowhere around 1/5 of the time.
- baddox 12y ago"Start" is nothing. I'm not sure why they even put it there. The first chord of the songs are represented by the second column.
- a1k0n 12y ago> Very lazily, I just normalized all probabilities across each transition so that each transition “mega bar” is kind-of the same height. I’m sure there’s a better way to do it, the community is invited to improve! The size of the bars is normalized, not necessarily indicative of probabilities. That's why I isn't any bigger than the rest.
