[music-dsp] Preference test for pitch transposition: big variations

[Gilles Degottex]

It is very interesting that some peoples repported me that they got 
difficulties on female voices whereas it was on male voices for others !

And yes, it depends on the application. Moreover, some peoples "like" a given 
artifact (ex. noise in low frequencies) by concidering it as merged into the 
voice quality (ex. and thus perceived as breathiness). And other peoples 
treat these artifacts ... as artifacts.
