Abstract
Computational music theory offers a wide variety of interesting geometric, combinatoric, and algorithmic problems. Some of these problems are illustrated for the special cases of rhythm and melody. In particular, several techniques useful for the teaching, analysis, generation and automated recognition of the rhythmic components of music are reviewed. A new measure of rhythm-evenness is described and shown to be better than previous measures for discriminating between rhythm timelines. It may also be more efficiently computed. Several open problems are discussed.
