  • This paper introduces a new approach for the historical study of musical rhythm based on an empirical measure of rhythm known as the nPVI ('normalized pairwise variability index') The nPVI is an equation that measures the degree of durational contrast between successive events in a sequence. While the nPVI is increasingly used for comparative studies of rhythm in music and language, we show that ... read more
