h1. Viewpoints

{{>toc}}

Viewpoints are representations of musical structure. A number of functions are provided to help the user work with viewpoints and viewpoint data.

The [[List of Viewpoints|available viewpoints]] are described in "Pearce [2005]":http://webprojects.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/marcusp/papers/Pearce2005.pdf and implemented in the <code>derived-viewpoints/</code> directory in amuse-viewpoints. It is easy to implement new viewpoints, the examples in the code and [[Adding Viewpoints]] should help you get started.

h2. Viewpoint sequences

The function <code>viewpoint-sequence</code> returns a representation of a melody (composition 0 in dataset 0) corresponding to the supplied viewpoint (chromatic pitch: cpitch). The output corresponds to the pitch of each note in the melody.

h2. Derived viewpoints

We can also use viewpoints which represent derived features such as pitch interval (cpint) or IOI ratio (ioi-ratio). Note that because these two derived viewpoints represent relationships between notes, they are undefined for the first note in the sequence (which has no predecessor).

h2. Linked viewpoints

Linked viewpoints are represented as a list of component viewpoints. Here is an example of linking pitch interval (cpint) with scale degree (cpintfref):

h2. Listing defined viewpoints

<code>viewpoints:list-viewpoints</code> returns a list of currently defined viewpoints::

<pre>

CL-USER> (viewpoints:list-viewpoints)

(VIEWPOINTS::ARTICULATION VIEWPOINTS::COMMA VIEWPOINTS::VOICE

                          VIEWPOINTS::ORNAMENT VIEWPOINTS::DYN

...)

</pre>

Similarly, particular categories of viewpoints can be listed using <code>viewpoints:list-basic</code>, <code>viewpoints:list-derived</code>, <code>viewpoints:list-linked</code> and <code>viewpoints:list-threaded</code>.

The function <code>predictors</code> lists the viewpoints which are derived from (and therefore capable of predicting) the supplied basic viewpoints:

<pre>

CL-USER> (viewpoints:predictors '(bioi))

(VIEWPOINTS::BIOI-RATIO VIEWPOINTS::BIOI-CONTOUR VIEWPOINTS::BIOI)
