Metric Functions

A metric function is a function that takes a scale as input and returns a calculated value. As mentioned in Basic Concepts, it returns a Python dict with the metric name as the key, and the metric value as the value.

The currently defined metrics all estimate the consonance or dissonance of a scale.

sum_p_q()

sum_distinct_intervals()

metric_3()

sum_p_q_for_all_intervals()

sum_q_for_all_intervals()

All Metrics

There is also a function that calculates all defined metrics for a scale.
