Melodic Pattern Anchoring for Score Following Using Score Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Building on our previous work in score following, we suggest that research on musical pattern significance, representation and categorization can be usefully integrated into a score follower to automatically identify unique melodic signatures in a composition. These signatures may then be calculated and analyzed over the entirety of a composition providing anchor points. Anchor points replace what has been, in practice, an arbitrary segmentation of scores with a unique division of a composition based on information that is essential to the operation of a score follower. The machine’s understanding of the entire score is enhanced and our algorithm’s performance is refined.

Computer Accompaniment and Music Understanding1
Music Understanding is the recognition or identification of structure and pattern in musical information. Five music understanding projects are discussed. In the first, Computer Accompaniment of Melodic Instruments, the goal is for a computer system to listen to and play along with a live performer, using a predetermined score. In the second project, the technique is extended to handle polyphon...
متن کاملXa-lan: Algorithmic Generation of Expressive Music Scores Based on Signal Analysis and Graphical Transformations
Xa-lan is a computer program written in Common-LISP to generate music scores with a high level of notational/symbolic expressivity. Generation is driven by audio-analysis of melodic profiles. Once a melodic contour is input to the software, graphic transformations of the original profile stochastically control the different notational elements of the score. The Xa-lan routines display their fin...
متن کاملSystematic database creation for expressive singing voice synthesis control
In the context of singing voice synthesis, the generation of the synthesizer controls is a key aspect to obtain expressive performances. In our case, we use a system that selects, transforms and concatenates units of short melodic contours from a recorded database. This paper proposes a systematic procedure for the creation of such database. The aim is to cover relevant style-dependent combinat...
متن کاملA Pattern Recognition Approach for Melody Track Selection in MIDI Files
Standard MIDI files contain data that can be considered as a symbolic representation of music (a digital score), and most of them are structured as a number of tracks. One of them usually contains the melodic line of the piece, while the other tracks contain accompaniment music. The goal of this work is to identify the track that contains the melody using statistical properties of the musical c...

In the field of computer music, pattern recognition algorithms are very relevant for music information retrieval (MIR) applications. Two challenging tasks in this area are the automatic recognition of musical genre and melody extraction, having a number of applications like indexing and selecting musical databases. One of the main references for music is its melody. In a practical environment o...
