<p>I understand the request, but can only offer you a workaround:</p>
<ul>
<li>create a playlist with your first filter criterion (artist = Max Richter)</li>
<li>then create a matchlist with ANY and whatever keys you want and that first playlist as source</li>
</ul>
<p>Hope this helps,</p>

<p>Thanks for getting back to me. That workaround will work indeed.</p>
<p>I found yet another workaround, maybe:</p>
<p>I added a custom ruleset that has only "Similar Color" and "Matching Key",<br>
both set to 5.<br>
This allows me to choose a seed song and have both rules (color and key)<br>
applied to the song.<br>
Could you elaborate on this method? Should I add "Similar timbre" to that<br>
as well?</p>
<p>Do you think in the near future there will be an option to add sub-rules to<br>
the ruleset, so we can alternate between "All"-rules and "Any"-rules within<br>
a single Matchlist?</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Sincerely<br>

<p>yes, using a "Matching Key" rule implements a bunch of harmonic mixing rules. It essentially does what you have in mind. Adding "Color" will also favor tracks that sound similar to the seed track, i.e. have a simile instrumentation and rhythm structure. Do not add "Timbre", if you already have "Color", it won't make things better. "Timbre" is basically "Color" without the rhythmic/tempo information.</p>

<p>No, I'm sorry, but there are quite a few other things on my way too long todo lists that come first.</p>
<p>Have a great weekend!</p>

<p>I use it all the time.</p>
<p>So now I use a custom made ruleset that looks like this:<br>
[image: Screenshot 2021-11-26 at 14.31.37.jpg] I use a favorite song as a seed and then I let beaTunes use above ruleset +<br>
I add a Genre-filter and/or a Year-filter. This yields quite amazing<br>
playlists in which I (re)discover songs in my iTunes that really match with<br>
the seed song.</p>
<p>As I mentioned to Hendrik before, it would be even better if we were able<br>
to add sub-filters, so we can mix ALL-rules with ANY-rules. I'm sure that's<br>
complicated, but not impossible. iTunes does it.</p>
<p>It would be completely mind blowing if beaTunes offered a filter called<br>
"Harmonic Key" that would select only songs with an <em>identical or compatible Key</em> to the seed song(s). Now my custom ruleset does this for<br>
me. But a filter that is based on the <em>Open Key Notation</em> system might work<br>
better? It's just a suggestion.</p>
<p>If you have any suggestions for me, to further explore or improve upon my<br>
usage of beaTunes, then please let me know.</p>
<p>Sincerely<br>
Alexander</p>
