1.
A melody will only be considered as a single combi-
nation of sequential notes. Chords, counter-melodies
or bass lines will be disregarded.
撇除和絃、副旋律和低音聲部，單一連串的音符才會視為旋
律。
2.
Melodies are within one octave (from C to C’).
旋律包含在一個 (從C到C
’
) 八度音階內。
3.
Within the octave, any of the 13 chromatic notes can be used.
旋律可由八度音階內的13個音符組成，包括：C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B, C
’
；旋律並不
限於大調或小調。
4.
We are interested in relative melodies so D to D or E to E are not included because it is already
included in C to C.
旋律數量只計算相對音高。因此，像G# - F和E – A組合並不包括在內，因為這些都是絕對音高。同度音程，
如 C – C丶D – D或G – G組合，都不計在內。
