This work defines transition times between articulated notes for reed instruments such as clarinets and bass clarinets. To determine these transition times, analysis of measurements of musician mouthpiece pressure, measured using sensor-equipped mouthpieces made especially for the clarinet and bass clarinet is required. The transition time (△T) can then be compared in different musical contexts (dynamics, tempos, etc.), playing regimes, and between various players. The data collection method and metric definition will be described, and results from different playing situations will be offered.
