The "numbers" format and "pitches" format files below represent the same information in different formats: In the "numbers" files, a "0" indicates middle C, and other numbers indicate the number of semitones above (positive) or below (negative) middle C. In the "pitches" files, C4-B4 indicates middle C to the B above, C3-B3 indicates the C below middle C to the B just below middle C, etc.

 

Experiment 1:

TRANSPOSE:
training: (i) numbers (ii) pitches (iii) audio sample non-octified octified
test:
(a) transpose: (i) numbers (ii) pitches (iii) audio sample stimulus
(b) non-transpose: (i) numbers (ii) pitches (iii) audio sample stimulus

INVERSE:
training: (i) numbers (ii) pitches (iii) audio sample stimulus non-octified octified
test:
(a) inverse: (i) numbers (ii) pitches (iii) audio sample stimulus
(b) non-inverse: (i) numbers (ii) pitches (iii) audio sample stimulus

RETROGRADE:
training: (i) numbers (ii) pitches (iii) audio sample stimulus non-octified octified
test:
(a) retrograde: (i) numbers (ii) pitches (iii) audio sample stimulus
(b) non-retrograde: (i) numbers (ii) pitches (iii) audio sample stimulus

INVERSE RETROGRADE:
training: (i) numbers (ii) pitches (iii) audio sample stimulus non-octified octified
test:
(a) inverse retrograde: (i) numbers (ii) pitches (iii) audio sample stimulus
(b) non-inverse retrograde: (i) numbers (ii) pitches (iii) audio sample stimulus

N-gram match between training and test stimuli

Experiment 2:

training:
(a) transpose: (i) numbers (ii) pitches (iii) sample audio stimulus
(b) inverse retrograde: (i) numbers (ii) pitches (iii) sample audio stimulus
test:
(a) transpose: (i) numbers (ii) pitches (iii) sample audio stimulus
(b) inverse retrograde: (i) numbers (ii) pitches (iii) sample audio stimulus

Source of hexachords:
(a) original 35 tonerows
(b) 11 selected hexachords
