Hey!
I'm using spotipy and its audio_analysis for my project, I wanted to have a look into the music components of it. I can see that under segments sections there is a pitches and timbre section as well, which is amazing.
However, I am not exactly sure how to interpret those values. I cannot see any sign of explanation of them in the documentation - what is the range of those values? what does it mean when timbre is 80 vs -115 ? Can it even be a negative value? Is there any range for certain notes?
Thanks in advance!
