69. These effects can also be observed in randomly-generated triads. (See §4.2.) Among chorale-style random triads whose largest space is between the bass and tenor, 54% double the bass, whereas only 45% do so when the largest space is not between the two lowest parts. Quartet-style random triads have fewer spacing constraints and do not exhibit this tendency. Among triads whose largest space is between the cello and viola, 44% double the bass, compared to 48% when this is not the case.

74. Additional details about the process of analyzing Humdrum data with Melisma can be found in Aarden, Bret, “An Empirical Study of Chord-Tone Doubling in Common Era Music” (Master’s Thesis, The Ohio State University, 2001).

75. Further communication with the author suggested that increasing Melisma’s penalties against modulation may have resulted in a greater number of usable analyses. For those analyses that were retained, however, the settings we used produced more conservative estimates of how early the first modulations occurred.

84. Some readers may notice that the probabilities in this example are higher than the probabilities in the linked graphs. This is because the probability that a triad is composed depends on the triad it is paired with. In the example, the triad in the right is pretty obviously random; it is badly spaced and it doubles the leading tone, which is very unusual among composed triads. The unusual features of the right triad increase the probability that the left triad is composed.
