subset_multiplicities: Count the multiplicities of a subset-type's varieties

Description

Given the varieties of a subset type returned by subset_varieties(), subset_multiplicities() counts how many times each one occurs in the scale. These are the multiplicities of the subsets in the sense of Clough and Myerson (1985)'s result "structure yields multiplicity" for well-formed scales.

Usage

subset_multiplicities(
  subsetdegrees,
  set,
  edo = 12,
  rounder = 10,
  display_digits = 2
)

Value

Numeric vector whose names indicate the k varieties of the subset type and whose entries count how often each variety occurs.

Arguments

subsetdegrees

Vector of integers indicating the generic shape to use, e.g. c(0, 2, 4) for tertian triads in a heptachord. Expected to begin with 0 and must have length > 1.

set

The scale to find subsets of, as a numeric vector

edo

Number of unit steps in an octave. Defaults to 12.

rounder

Numeric (expected integer), defaults to 10: number of decimal places to round to when testing for equality.

display_digits

Integer: how many digits to display when naming any non-integral interval sizes. Defaults to 2.

Examples

subset_multiplicities(c(0, 2, 4), sc(7, 35))
subset_multiplicities(c(0, 1, 4), sc(7, 35))

subset_multiplicities(c(0, 2, 4), j(dia))
