The book opens with a short introduction to Indian music; in particular classical Hindustani music; followed by a chapter on the role of statistics in computational musicology. The authors then show how to analyze musical structure using Rubato; the music software package for statistical analysis; in particular addressing modeling; melodic similarity and lengths; and entropy analysis; they then show how to analyze musical performance. Finally; they explain how the concept of seminatural composition can help a music composer to obtain the opening line of a raga-based song using Monte Carlo simulation. The book will be of interest to musicians and musicologists; particularly those engaged with Indian music.
