Mazzola, Guerino / Noll, Thomas / Lluis-Puebla, Emilio: Perspectives in Mathematical and Computational Music Theory

detected some examples, for instance, revealing that great metric weights on the beginnings of measures are not in each case due to local meters with a period²⁶

²⁶: the distance between consecutive onsets of the meter

of the measure (or multiples of the period). Even after excluding all local meters with a period of the measure, half-measure and multiples of the measure the metric weight was characterized by metric coherence. This promises new insights into the complexity of the processes which cause the emergence of metric coherence.
