Hi,
I think the problem with most students' (and of course also
scholars') point of view is that many (most?) people don't
consider the system they grew up with as what it is: an (one out
of many) attempt at rationalizing musical reality in an analytical
system. Each of these systems has their pros and cons, and most
systems are tailored to specific repertoires against which they
were developed. In my experience people from the "German" fraction
look down to the roman numerals because they seem like mere
descriptions without interpretation of the harmony's "functional"
relation to the surrounding music. Seen from the other side
functional analysis suffers from *pretending* such a clear
functional relation to be present and tangible.
Having followed this conversation that I started I came to the conclusion that I would like to see a new module in openLilyLib's `analysis` package (complementing `arrows` and `frames`). In order to be generally useful this would have to have the following features:
I would vote for a LilyPond-based solution, with markups and/or stencil overrides (or probably both), with the expressed intent to provide a parallel development for LaTeX. I'll comment on that separately. In order to be useful I agree that it should start with collecting and discussing the styles one might need to address, only then can we reasonably think about how the basic coverage and the extensibility should be structured. I'm not fully clear about the best way this discussion should be structured, but probably the best *place* is https://github.com/openlilylib/analysis, the issue tracker, maybe the Wiki?, and a "project" I've created (https://github.com/openlilylib/analysis/projects/1). This discussion should definitely not be limited to the LilyPond community and mailing list, so when we have an initial place it would be good to reach out to other communities, which will provide us with valuable input - and at the same time give an opportunity to engage with these communities and have them talk about LilyPond ... One personal caveat: while I actually need some of that right now the project I'm needing it for must have absolute priority for the next about three months, so I definitely can't engage with substantial amounts of time. I hope the project is able to attract enough people so it doesn't depend on me pushing it forward... Best
