The Studio Tools

Harmonic Similarity

Harmonic Similarity compares musical material and scores how closely it matches — useful when you’re writing and that hook feels suspiciously familiar.

How to use it

  1. Give the tool the two pieces of material to compare.
  2. Review the similarity analysis — it looks at the harmonic content, not just surface notes.
  3. Use the result as a songwriting sanity check before you fall in love with a progression.

Honest limits

This is a writing aid, not legal advice. Copyright disputes involve far more than harmonic similarity (melody, rhythm, lyrics, access, jurisdiction). If real money is on the line, talk to a music-rights attorney.
