About

A row is read as pitch classes or note names. A twelve-tone row gets its matrix and all forty-eight forms in the zero-centred convention, where P0 and I0 start on C and R0 and RI0 end on it. A row is checked for being all-interval and for being one of Link's 194 chords, and matched against the seventy-one historical rows music21 carries, from Schoenberg's Op. 23 to Berg's Lulu.
