[Jason Stoessel]

Hi all

Some excellent ideas circulating here, with thanks to those leading this effort. One question regarding @intm nomenclature came to mind, however. For me, what it seems to describe is not a relative melodic interval per se but melodic contour (or melodic motion) (an extension of Parsons code, as such, if this is not stating the obvious). So would it be more appropriate to refer instead to @melcont?
