PST : Pitch Spelling
نویسنده
چکیده
Pitch spelling is the process of assigning contextually correct letter names to numeric representations for musical pitch such as MIDI numbers. Each pitch is represented by a number in MIDI and other digital formats, and the same number, say, 58 could map to A# or Bb depending on the key context. Accurate pitch spelling is a critical component of systems for automated transcription, computer music analysis, segmentation, synchronization and retrieval, and expression synthesis. Our goal is to develop robust pitch spelling algorithms for the purpose of recognizing and visualizing tonal patterns using the Spiral Array model for tonality [6]. The algorithms are implemented in Java as part of the MuSA project initiated in 2002. MuSA stands of Music on the Spiral Array and consists of a set of software tools for music analysis based on the Spiral Array.

Pitch spelling using compactness
Pitch spelling addresses the question of how to derive traditional score notation from 12-tone pitch numbers or MIDI format. This paper proposes a pitch spelling algorithm that is based on only one principle: compactness in the Euler-lattice. The algorithm was evaluated on the first book of Bach’s Well-tempered Clavier and had a success rate of 98.98 %. The algorithm is compared with other mode...
متن کاملCompactness in the Euler-lattice: A parsimonious pitch spelling model
• AbstrAct Compactness and convexity have been shown to represent important principles in music, reflecting a notion of consonance in scales and chords, and have been successfully applied to well-known problems from music research. In this paper, the notion of compactness is applied to the problem of pitch spelling. Pitch spelling addresses the question of how to derive traditional score notati...
متن کاملPitch spelling: Investigating reductions of the search space
Pitch spelling addresses the question of how to derive traditional score notation from pitch classes or MIDI numbers. In this paper, we motivate that the diatonic notes in a piece of music are easier to spell correctly than the non-diatonic notes. Then we investigate 1) whether the generally used method of calculating the proportion of correctly spelled notes to evaluate pitch spelling models c...
متن کاملDetermining context-defining windows: Pitch spelling using the spiral array
This paper presents algorithms for pitch spelling using the Spiral Array model. Accurate pitch spelling, assigning contextually consistent letter names to pitch numbers (for example, MIDI), is a critical component of music transcription and analysis systems. The local context is found to be more important than the global, but a combination of both achieves the best results.
متن کاملSkefis – a Symbolic (midi) Key Finding System
SKeFiS is a symbolic (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) key finding system that incorporates pitch spelling, key finding, and a cumulative window strategy for determining key. After selection of the window to be considered, key recognition is considered a compound process: one of first determining the spelling of the pitches from numeric pitch information (MIDI), then extracting key from th...
