Am currently in Britanny & exposed for various reasons to Breton music. Inevitable observation: B music is far more repetitive (limited) than Irish. Therefore am currently coding in Lisp (with thumbs in #Emacs on my phone; am on holiday!) functions to take tunes in ABC notation (thesession.org etc), doing Lempel-Ziv compression, and comparing compression rates. So far: Irish 33%; Breton 50%, i…
