That was my first try at copying and pasting anything with the new one. I haven’t yet found a way to preview my HTML. |

13 Feb 22 - 04:30 PM (#4136504) Subject: RE: Folksong tune evolution From: Jack Campin As far as I could see the links were correct. This phone works differently enough from the old one that it concealed whatever the problem was. Anybody got something substantial to say? The mechanisms they talk about are rather like the modal modulations I described in my modes tutorial - opening and filling gaps (“indels” in their useful terminology). It’s a kind of “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny” situation - I was talking about compositional processes, they’re talking about historical ones. |

13 Feb 22 - 05:27 PM (#4136509) Subject: RE: Folksong tune evolution From: GUEST Substantial? Well, they say "We made the following two predictions regarding specific regularities of melodic evolution..." and their predictions were born out. The predictions were easy to understand and not surprising if one has compared a few tunes. So the paper was really about application of a of a method from one field of study to another rather than music. "Interesting" was as enthusiastic as I could get. Before it was corrected the first link was a URL starting mudcat.org so I assumed that it was the clickifier had misunderstood rather than an HTML parser. How many people would miss curly quotes if they had never been invented to plague us. |

13 Feb 22 - 06:09 PM (#4136515) Subject: RE: Folksong tune evolution From: Jack Campin Thanks, I’m using a tiny font and the curliness of the quotes would been utterly invisible. Now to suss out how to straighten them. I’d already noticed the indel processes on tunes that persisted over a long time - the description I gave (not original to me) of the evolution of the psalm tune Martyrs is exactly the sort of thing they describe in the paper. |
