Abstract:
Modes of limited transposition are musical modes originally conceived by the French composer Olivier Messiaen for a tempered system of 12 pitches per octave. They are defined on the base of symmetry-related criteria used to split an octave into a number of recurrent interval groups. This paper describes an algorithm to automatically compute the modes of limited transposition in a generic n-tone equal temperament. After providing a pseudo-code description of the process, a Web implementation will be proposed.
