Field notes
Individual progression pages are described as showing frequency, percentile, what follows a progression, and the effect of changing one chord. Downloads include basic, drum-backed, and seventh-chord MIDI variants. The homepage separates measured results from literature, craft experience, and unverified claims. Its stated limits are specific: melody rules matched only 0–2 of 909 melodies, style groups derive from 121 tracks, and rhyme coverage is estimated at 48–68%.
