vl_dist: Voice-leading distance
In pmcharrison/voicer: Analyzing and Generating Chord Voicings

Description Usage Arguments Value Note References

Computes the minimal voice-leading distance (in semitones) between two chords, using the minimal voice-leading algorithm of \insertCiteTymoczko2006;textualvoicer as implemented in the minVL package (see min_vl).

1	vl_dist(contexts, continuation)

`contexts`	A list of chords corresponding to the first chord in the transition. Each chord should be represented as a numeric vector of MIDI note numbers, without duplicates, sorted in ascending order. The function is vectorized over this argument.
`continuation`	The second chord in the transition, represented as a numeric vector of MIDI note numbers, without duplicates, sorted in ascending order.

A numeric vector of the same length as contexts, with the ith element corresponding to the sum voice-leading distance between the ith element of contexts and continuation.

Unlike Tymoczko's original presentation, distances are computed in pitch space, not pitch-class space.
