Summarize humdrumR corpora

Summarizes the content of a humdrumR corpus, by calling five different corpus summary functions and printing their results.

Usage

# S3 method for humdrumR
summary(object)

Details

humdrumR includes a number of separate functions for summarizing different aspects of humdrumR data objects:

• census()

  • Tabulates the raw size of the humdrumR corpus.

• reference()

  • Tabulates reference records (metadata) for each piece.

• spines()

  • Tabulates the number of spines and spine paths in pieces in the corpus.

• interpretations()

  • Tabulates the types of exclusive and tandem interpretations in the corpus.

• sections()

  • Tabulates any formal data (*>) in the corpus, including barlines.

Each function takes a humdrumR object and returns a data.table. The summary method for humdrumR objects simply calls all of the above functions and prints a condensed version of each.
