[seqfan] Need suggestions for test for compatible sequences for "voice leading"

[Neil Sloane]

Dear Seq Fans,

In musical theory there is the concept of voice leading
(see  http://music.stackexchange.com/questions/14779/what-is-voice-leading )

Question: suppose we made a series of two-note chords by combining two
sequences A and B. Can one formulate a test to see which pairs of sequences
(A,B) are compatible, i.e. satisfy the rules for voice leading?

Best regards
Neil
