Decitala Documentation¶
The decitala package aims to make rhythmic search and analysis of encoded musical corpora easier. This toolkit can
be used to both detect rhythmic fragments in a work and suggest possible alignments. decitala is being developed
to make the analysis of Olivier Messiaen’s music easier, particularly with respect to his use of ethnological
rhythmic fragments. If you find the tools/corpora to be useful or discover a bug, feel free to
file an issue here or drop me a note (luke.poeppel@gmail.com).
I’d love to hear about how you used them and/or take suggestions.
