A command that modifies the selected PitchTier object (or the pitch curve in the ManipulationEditor).
Purpose
to end up with a much simplified pitch curve.
Settings
-
Frequency resolution (standard: 2.0 semitones)
-
the minimum amount by which every remaining pitch point will lie above or below the line that connects its two neigbours.
Algorithm
-
1. Look up the pitch point that is closest to the straight line that connects its two neighbouring points.
-
2. If this pitch point is further away from that straight line than Frequency resolution, we are finished: the curve cannot be stylized any further.
-
3. If we are not finished, the pitch point we found in step 1 is removed.
-
4. Go back to step 1.
