Insights Roadmaps Consolidated
This
document
contains
the
roadmaps
for
leadsheets
with
chord
changes
corresponding
to
John
Elliotts
Insights
in
Jazz
book,
as
analyzed
by
version
5.03
of
Impro-Visor.
These
were
done
in
a
single
very
long
run,
except
for
a
few
that
I
accidently
left
out
in
the
first
pass.
Each
roadmap
was
scaled
manually
following
analysis
in
Impro-Visor
so
that
most
features
were
showing,
then
snapped
from
the
screen
and
pasted
into
a
Microsoft
Word
document,
which
adjusted
the
size
of
each
roadmap
to
fit
the
page
width.
Impro-Visor
currently
produces
only
uniform-scaled
roadmaps,
i.e.
the
width
of
each
bar
is
the
same,
although
the
width
of
a
bar
can
be
adjusted.
One
reason
for
this
is
that
roadmaps
can
be
played
in
Impro-Visor,
and
is
tracked
beat
by
beat,
so
we
want
the
spacing
to
correspond
to
a
uniform
meter.
Another
reason
is
that
making
a
non-uniform
layout
is
a
lot
more
difficult
to
program.
The
purpose
of
this
is
not
to
replace
the
corresponding
section
of
Johns
fine
book.
It
is
part
of
a
research
proof
of
concept.
It
is
understood
that
some
of
these
roadmaps
are
incorrect
or
sub-optimal.
We
will
be
working
toward
correcting
problems
in
future
versions,
which
may
entail
modification
of
the
leadsheet
(particularly
placement
of
section
and
phrase
marks),
the
brick
dictionary,
and,
as
necessary,
the
Impro-Visor
software
itself.
Here
are
a
few
differences
between
our
annotations
and
John
Elliotts:
We
explicitly
call
out
the
inferred
key
(but
there
may
be
the
occasional
miss
in
this
area).
Our
joins
appear
below
the
first
brick,
rather
than
wedged
between
two
bricks.
We
dont
explicitly
call
out
Hovers
(multiple
measures
of
the
same
chord).
We
dont
have
a
notion
of
abort
currently,
although
some
equivalences
may
be
found
in
our
use
of
approaches
or
starts.
We
dont
give
nicknames
to
stand-alone
chords,
e.g.
Nowhere
for
bVI
and
Somewhere
for
II7.
When
two
bricks
have
an
overlapping
chord,
the
suffix
+
.
.
.
appears
on
the
first
brick.
(There
is
a
current
bug
in
that,
e.g.
C
is
recognized
in
overlap
from
a
cadence,
whereas
CM7
is
not.)
In
our
case,
an
eight-measure
line
can
end
up
really
long
if
there
is
a
lot
of
complexity,
so
occasionally
four-measure
lines
are
used
instead.
(In
the
future,
I
will
probably
go
to
a
four-measure
line
as
the
standard,
even
though
parallel
structure
is
often
clearer
with
eight-measure
lines.)
In
general,
when
making
your
own
roadmaps
with
Impro-Visor,
it
is
best
to
minimize
unnecessary
chord
embellishments,
as
these
are
more
likely
to
foil
Impro-
Visors
brick
recognition
algorithm.
