Psychological Factors Influencing Salience



  1. note loudness (dynamic accent)

  2. note duration (agogic stress)

  3. melodic accent (pitch-related stress)

  4. metric position

  5. pitch height salience

  6. position in scale-degree hierarchy

  7. primacy/recency contexts

  8. inner-voice or outer-voice position
Problem: What is the relative weighting of these factors?

As an experimental task, answering this question is daunting.
