Example the reel Beatrix by Sharon Shannon.
This book is for learning music composition and improvisation , based on more abstract mathematics of the music, the rhythm and the musical instrument and with new musical practice. It is a new awareness and method to link mental perception-images, the creation of feelings and finger actions. The true goal of composition and improvisation is the existential process of creating and listening it. It is both individually healing and socially celebrating.

465. THE MAJOR-MINOR INDIFFERENCE RULE IN (12 BARS) BLUES IMPROVISATION
According to this rule, the melodic improviser so as to improvise may assume either a major or a minor or both scale over the 3 chords of the blues.

464. THE CHORDS SCALE INDEPENDENCE RULE IN (12 BARS) BLUES IMPROVISATION.
According to this rule, at each change of a (major) chord in the blues, the melodic improviser assumes a change of the scale too with root note the root of the (major) chord! Thus he makes 3 transpositions
Actually this rule may go far beyond the 12 bars blues, to any chord progression!

463. THE PASSEPARTOUT OF IMPROVISATION AND COMPOSITION . RHYTHMIC PATTERNS HARMONIC TRANSITIONS AND MELODIC SHAPES INVARIANTS.
Since the most detailed ontology is at the melody, then the 3 invariants (rhythmic, harmonic, motion shape) occur as invariants of the melody too.
For years I have
been looking for the most comprehensive and convenient concept for
improvisation and composition from the simplest to the most complex ie starting
from rhythm then harmony then melody. I had found it parts but not in total.
Listening to a young street musician explaining how she improvises a steel
percussion instrument called hand pan that plays also melodies, she flashed my
intuition. ....the most comprehensive concept is something very well known in
mathematics and geometry ......

It is Felix Klein's Erlangen program idea that every
geometric structure is defined by the group of
transformations that leaves it invariant.
Here that every musical structure is defined and created
by the rhythmic harmonics and melodic invariants of their
variations......
This girl said about the repetition of the invariants in
improvisation: "repetition is your friend".
I called the description of this in the context of music the
PASSEPARTOUT of musical improvisation and
composition.
You keep one of the 3, rhythmic pattern harmony
(chords transitions) melodic shape fixed and change
the other two and thus you create the music,
provided the emotion approves it.
You keep the rhythmic pattern constant and change
the melodic shape or the harmony (chords transitions)
You keep the harmony (chords transitions) constant and
change the rhythmic pattern or the melodic shape
Keep the melodic shape constant and change the rhythmic
pattern or harmony (chords transitions).
