Though the musical component was not directly acknowledged in the latter case, its application to thin plates became a proud example of musical colour twenty-nine years later, in both Parts 1 and 2 of "Opticks", Book 2.
Developed for the prismatic spectrum, the measure was oversize for the colours of thin plates, and had to be compressed by a factor of the cube root of a square.
The musical notes he selected from these approximated the diatonic scale of D he used elsewhere, though each tone would be of uniform size, and a semitone exactly half that.

 Annotation for Lester, Joel
In Bach's music, the primary metric level is almost always the individual beat (fast harmonic rhythm); frequently there is "functionally meaningful harmonic motion at the very fastest levels in the piece on a continuous basis" (130).
Accents within a measure both recede from the preceeding downbeat and lead toward the following downbeat; such is not the case with the accentual status of measures within a phrase.
Phrases are discrete musical thoughts, ending with a cadence and a breath that separates them from the following music; measures are, by and large, not separate units--within a phrase they often lead directly to the following measure.

The system can be used to evaluate different bowing techniques and may expand the expressive possibilities of the violin by electronic means, according to Diana Young, who built the gesture sensing system for the Hyperbow.
Young, who has a B.A. in music from Johns Hopkins University and a certificate in violin performance from the Peabody Conservatory, built the gesture-sensing system for her master's degree, which she received from MIT in 2001.
