B.10. MapClass Commands

B.10.1. MC

MapClass: Commands: Displays a list of all MapClass dictionary commands.

B.10.2. MCcm

MCcm: MapClass: Comparison: Displays all possible maps and analysis data between any two sets of six or fewer members. Maps can be sorted by Joseph N. Straus's atonal voice-leading measures Smoothness, Uniformity, or Balance. Full analysis data is provided for each map, including vectors for each measure, displacement, offset, max, and span.

B.10.3. MCgrid

MCgrid: MapClass: Grid: Creates a grid of all minimum displacements between every set class of two cardinalities. Cardinalities must be six or fewer. Note: for large cardinalities, processing time may be long. Note: values calculated between different-sized sets may not represent the shortest transitional distance.

B.10.4. MCnet

MCnet: MapClass: Network: Creates a graphical display of displacement networks between set classes.

B.10.5. MCopt

MCopt: MapClass: Optimum: Finds an optimum voice leading and minimum distance for any two sets of six or fewer elements.

B.10.6. MCv

MCv: MapClass: View: Displays a listing of MapClasses for a given size class (source to destination size) and between a range of indexes. MapClasses are notated in two possible notations. An index notation specifies a source:destination size pair followed by an index number. For example: 3:4-35 is the thirty fifth map class between sets of 3 and 4 elements. A spatial notation uses names and order position to code transitions. For example: (cd(ab)).
