pub fn melodic_interval_variability(
stream: &Stream,
options: &ConsecutiveOptions,
) -> Result<FloatType>Expand description
The melodic interval variability of a stream (Patel, Music, Language,
and the Brain, p. 223): music21’s melodicIntervalVariability.
It is a hundred times the coefficient of variation – the sample
standard deviation over the mean – of the sizes in semitones of the
intervals Stream::melodic_intervals finds with options, worked out
exactly and rounded once, as Python’s statistics module does.
