This is very interesting! I can't wait to run it on some of my own compositions...

Please do! I would love to hear how the lattice interprets original compositions.

For the only piece I have ever composed ( https://jimishol.github.io/post/young_and_confused/ )—a harmony exercise written before I built this tool—I find the visualization acts primarily as a mnemonic device.

However, for pieces like Satie's Gnossienne No. 1, the geometry makes profound sense, while others like Flight of the Bumblebee are just beautiful to watch purely for the motion.

I actually just pushed a new update (v2.5.2-2) that attempts a topological estimation of keys based on the active surface. Give it a try and let me know what you find.
