We present a deterministic pipeline for mapping musical tension arcs across symbolic corpora and introduce the Structural Tension Index (STI). Three signals are combined: chord dissonance (Huron 1994), chord-change rate, and dynamic melodic leap tension.

We present a deterministic, executable pipeline for mapping musical tension arcs across symbolic corpora and introduce the Structural Tension Index (STI), a corpus-level statistic quantifying the normalized position of peak harmonic tension. Three independent signals are combined: chord dissonance via interval-class roughness weights (Huron 1994), chord-change rate (vertical density proxy), and dynamic melodic leap tension.

We evaluate the Structural Tension Index (STI), a corpus-level metric quantifying the peak position of musical tension, across Bach, Beethoven, and folk corpora. We address critical methodological limitations in applying symbolic tension models across heterogeneous genres.

We introduce a revised formulation of the Structural Tension Index (STI), a corpus-level statistic quantifying the position of peak harmonic tension across musical pieces. Computations derive from three signals: chord dissonance (Huron 1994), harmonic rhythm (via explicit chordification), and melodic leaps.
