djazz.analyzer

Takes a label representing the current musical state, and returns another label to be used by the improvisation algorithm.

The input label can be passed to it by anything–the master control, other generators, or the same generator in which this analyzer resides.
Currently only passes the chord label for the next beat, passed by the master control, directly through without modification.
So for now this object exists more as a placeholder. This is where real-time music analysis code should go.
