What people really do, as opposed to what they say they are trying to do. It certainly seems like this should be possible, looking at it from the outside. If you can "lasso" an isolated pitch/note, then you should be able to manipulate it so as to be able to prolong it enough to measure fairly precisely. And then you can compare instances of the same note at various places in a cut, and come up with samples of all notes and their ranges of pitch, and find endless possibilities of analysis.</div><div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline">Regards,</div><div>Fred Sturm</div><div>University of New Mexico</div><div><a href="mailto:fssturm@unm.edu">fssturm@unm.edu</a></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div></div></div><br><div></div><div>On Mar 12, 2008, at 5:50 AM, Kent Swafford wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Some mornings you get up and find the world has changed.
