Rhythmic Partitioning Calculator

Introduction

Rhythmic Partitioning Calculator is a tool to calculate simple rhythmic partitions data such as agglomeration and dispersion indexes, lexset, lexsum, and to enumerate partitions. (See further information about rhythmic partitioning of texture at Rhythmic partitioning assistant's documentation).

This tool is inspired on Partition (2024) and Parsemat (2020) softwares, both developed by Pauxy Gentil-Nunes.

  • To enumerate the partitions of a number n is to present the list of all its partitions.
  • Lexset is a set formed by the partitions from 1 to dn, where dn is the assumed density-number for a piece or compositional process.
  • Lexsum is the number of partitions of a lexset.
