Precisely! I imagine the best visualization would be an ambitus the thickness of which represents the proportion of that pitch versus the total number of pitches (or duration?) of the whole piece. > Have you seen the 'musanim' music animations on YouTube? They are fascinating! Put those together with my brainstorm (and a few others), and you have a real 21st Century musicological tool.
