musicMCT: Analyze the Structure of Musical Scales

Analysis of musical scales (& modes, grooves, etc.) in the vein of Sherrill 2025 <https://collections.lib.utah.edu/ark:/87278/s6d2gr78>. The initials MCT in the package title refer to the article's title: "Modal Color Theory." Offers support for conventional musical pitch class set theory as developed by Forte (1973, ISBN: 9780300016109) and David Lewin (1987, ISBN: 9780300034936), as well as for the continuous geometries of Callender, Quinn, & Tymoczko (2008) <doi:10.1126/science.1153021>. Identifies structural properties of scales and calculates derived values (sign vector, color number, brightness ratio, etc.). Creates plots such as "brightness graphs" which visualize these properties.
