I think you're right. After all, The melody of the verse repeats between verses, so without the words repetition is no longer a good indicator of the chorus, and a shift in style is as likely (maybe more likely) to find the bridge than find a chorus.. By the way, some of the papers referenced seem confused between refrains (which form part of the verses) and choruses (which are separate musical units). -- Tim Rowe -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
