Polyphonic versus monophonic

How many contain more than one **kern spine (i.e., are polyphonic, probably piano):

   grep -l "\*\*kern.*\*\*kern" *.krn | wc -l
   58

WF5118.krn is an example:

This one is interesting because it has invisible chords in the top staff which are realizing the harmonic chords above the staff.

Duration

What is the duration of all songs if played back-to-back and at the specified tempo without repeats?

   gettime -T *.krn | tail -n 1
   286:50:23.1354 hours

What are the longest songs:

    gettime --simple -T *.krn | sort -k2 -nr | head -n 10
    WF6618.krn:	3120
    WF0181.krn:	3120
    WF0182.krn:	1864
    WF3616.krn:	1420
    WF6336.krn:	1134
    WF5131.krn:	909
    WF6068.krn:	785
    WF5004.krn:	696
    WF3226.krn:	671
    WF1249.krn:	664

The -k2 option means to sort by the second column of data. -n means to sort numerically rather than alphabetically, and -r means to sort by highest first.

What are the shortest songs:

    gettime --simple -T *.krn | sort -k2 -nr | tail -n 10
    WF2814.krn:	16
    WF2806.krn:	16
    WF2795.krn:	16
    WF2785.krn:	16
    WF2856.krn:	14
    WF2852.krn:	12
    WF2799.krn:	12
    WF6338.krn:	8
    WF5609.krn:	8

 The shortest song in VHV:

Meter

What sort of meters are in the database and how much of each type?

    beat -Ca *.krn | beat -Ua  | extractx -s '$1-$'  | ridx -H | sortcount -p
    65.89	4	4
    15.44	3	4
    11.67	2	2
    3.24	2	4
    2.78	6	8
    0.52	12	8
    0.16	5	4
    0.14	9	8
    0.09	6	4
    0.06	3	8
    0.01	3	2
    0.01	7	4
    0     	2	8
    0     	7	8
    0     	9	4
    0     	10	8
    0     	17	16
    0     	1	2
    0     	5	8
    0     	1	4
    0     	4	8

The most common meter is 4/4, where 65% of the music is in that meter.

-C means extract the count of the meter (the top number).

-U means extract the duration unit from the meter (the bottom number).

-C and -U are output once for each measure, so using these are a simple way of counting the number of measures in the scores. If you add -F option with these two options, every data line will display the metrical information.

-a means to append the analysis to the end of the lines (keeping the original input score).

The extract option:

    -s '$1-$'

means to extract from one before the last spine to the last spine. $1 is one before the last spine, $2 is two before the last spine, and so on.

Chord labels

How many unique chord labels are there?

   extractx -i mxhm  * | ridx -H | sortcount | wc -l
   1399

What are the most common ones:

   extractx -i mxhm  * | ridx -H | sortcount -p | head -n 10
