Choose either Intervals or Interval n-grams and visualize results on a table, bar graph, or annotated score. Optional filters allow you to refine your results.

Intervals

• Table yields a tally of the different kinds of intervals in the piece, ranked from most to least frequent
• Bar graph is another way to visualize this result
• Annotated score will label where the intervals occur in the piece at whatever offset you indicated

Interval n-grams

• choose the length of n-gram you wish to study
• Results are the same as for Intervals, although there are some issues with the text spacing in the Bar graph for n-grams that make it hard to interpret
