We study the assignment of local tonalities to chord sequences, a task useful for harmonic analysis, composition, and jazz-oriented improvisation. Standard dynamic-programming approaches minimize modulations but can introduce unnecessarily many tonal centers.

arXiv:2607. 22413v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sample retrieval tools can help composers find harmonically compatible material, but querying from a fixed reference sample becomes less informative as arrangements evolve and the harmonic context shifts with each musical decision.

This paper introduces a quantum-inspired computational framework for harmonic decision-making in music. The proposed approach formulates harmonization as an optimization problem within a structured combinatorial space, where multiple candidate chord sequences are evaluated under interacting musical constraints.
arXiv:2608. 00576v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-polyphony symbolic music is increasingly used in generation, analysis, and arrangement, yet many downstream tasks require bounded representations with fixed tracks or slots.
