Dear All.

As a mathematical music theorist, I know there is a great deal of discrete mathematics in music theory.  More often than not, tools in mathematics are borrowed and applied to musical structure.  But on occasion, a tool is developed to give insight in musical structure that also has application in mathematics and the sciences.  Attached is paper published in the May 2008 issue of College Mathematics Journal that discusses such a tool.
