Compare two profiled pieces aspect by aspect: form, harmony, melody and
melodic rhythm.
Sequences — sections, phrase lengths, cadences, key plans, structural
chords, phrase contours and registers — are aligned by a graded edit
distance; distributions — harmonic function, onset placement, inter-onset
intervals, motif derivations — by histogram intersection. The surface field
compares the motifs' interval cells, so a transposition of the same piece
reads 1 on every field. No aggregate is returned: which aspects agree is the
answer.
