Description: MusiContour: musical contour relations calculator
        
        by Marcos da Silva Sampaio and Pedro Kröger (Genos Research Group [1])
        
        This is a software to calculate and plot musical contour relations
        operations. MusiContour can process contour related to parameters such
        as pitch, duration, dynamics and chord density. This software provides
        Contour Theories functions [2].
        
        MusiContour had two names before its current one: Goiaba (2007), a
        software developed to process musical contours, during Marcos da Silva
        Sampaio master's degree [3], and Villa-Lobos Contour module, a module
        of Villa-Lobos [4], and is now independent.
        
        MusiContour is part of Marcos da Silva Sampaio PhD project about
        musical contour relations. More information about these project is
        available in [5], in portuguese.
