Using dimensional descriptions to express the emotional content of music

Dimensional descriptions are used in computational research on music and emotion, but the approach has potentially much more power and subtlety than many applications use. Two main kinds of refinement are considered — description of moment-by-moment change, and the use of more than the two or three best known dimensions.
