[mirtoolbox] Problems with mirkey or mirgetdata(mirkey(...))

Hello Olivier, hello everybody,

I am preparing a talk for a conference and have seen the following
problem: If I calculate mirkey it gives me e.g. "C# maj" or "D min" or
whatever. But if I extract thet data with "mirgetdata" it only gives me
one number from 1 to 12, i.e. C=1, C#=2, D=3, D#=4, E, F,...

But isn't there a second number "0" or "1" necessary for the attribute
"maj" or "min"? Wouldn't it be better to have a two dimensional vector as
the outcome, e.g. (1,1) = C maj, or (2,0) = C# min?
Or does mirkey gets the maj/min information by mirmode and only says: The
tone is in C or in C#, and with mirmode you also get the second
information? That's a bit strange... Why not combine both in one function
with a vector as the outcome?

Below you see the result of two tones. One is seen as major one as minor,
but with mirgetdata I only get the "name" of the Chord, but not the
attribute "maj" or "min" for which I am looking:


>> wav = miraudio([ordner files(i).name], 'Extract', 0,1,'s');
Elapsed time is 0.026252 seconds.
>> mirkey(wav)

The Key related to file
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Klassifikationsexperimente\Igor_Chords\0005-C#Dur-I-Cello_C#4-Trumpet_F4-AcousticGuitar_G#4.wav
is C# maj

>> mirgetdata(mirkey(wav))

ans =

     2

>> wav = miraudio([ordner files(7).name], 'Extract', 0,1,'s');
Elapsed time is 0.029262 seconds.
>> mirkey(wav)

The Key related to file
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Klassifikationsexperimente\Igor_Chords\0007-C#Dur-I-Flute_C#5-Piano_F5-Cello_G#5.wav
is C# min

>> mirgetdata(mirkey(wav))

ans =

     2



Thank you very much for your help!

Best regards
Markus
