Stravinsky’s Rotational Array Analyser

Enter a six-note hexachord. Each row of the array rotates it one step and transposes back to its first pitch, so the first column stays constant — a centric note. Stravinsky read the columns (“verticals”) as harmonies, deriving arrays from four forms: P, I, R, and IR.
