Alternative Numerical Representation of Pitch @Noldorin: joking aside, frequency isn't really that different than the MIDI note value. In fact, if you assume 12-eq and allow for non-integer MIDI note values, they are homeomorphic. Systems like Hewlett's and mine maintain note naming for us people that care that A♯ is not B♭ :-) |

Alternative Numerical Representation of Pitch @Matthew Read: I've edited the final paragraph to make it clearer I'm interested in what other systems are in use |

Why is C the base note of standard notation and keys? In other words, it's not that "C" was given any prominence (directly) as the "base note" but rather the Ionian became the "base mode". The latter names themselves favour the Aeolian as the "base mode". |

Are there any machine-readable databases of chord progressions available? @musicwithoutpaper there's a decent amount of research out there on accompaniment generation (as well as melody generation) but, like many programmers, I want to develop my own particular take on it (and I'm a linguist by training so that gives another perspective as well) |

Are there any machine-readable databases of chord progressions available? @musicwithoutpaper yeah, for analyzing chord progressions, inferring grammars and generating chord progressions; nothing too ground-breaking. Will hopefully help me develop more of my 'Sebastian' software too. |

Capitalization of key names (C Minor vs. c minor) tangential to the specifics of key names, but capitalization continues to matter in things like II vs ii or DM7 vs Dm7; with regard to key names, I recall seeing C vs c mostly in the context of German key names |

Prokofiev's style I'll give it a go, even though I'd love a much more thorough answer |
