Contrapuntal music, also called counterpoint, is a structure of musical composition that originated in the Renaissance and was developed extensively in Baroque and Classical music, particularly in canons and fugues written by Bach and Mozart. Many speci...

Detecting multiple pitches (F0s) and segregating musical instrument lines from monaural recordings of contrapuntal polyphonic music into separate tracks is a difficult problem in music signal processing. Applications include audio-to-MIDI conversion, automatic music transcription, and audio enhancement and transformation. Past attempts at separation have been limited to separating two harmonic ...

This paper develops and applies a new method for the discovery of polyphonic patterns. The method supports the representation of abstract relations that are formed between notes that overlap in time without being simultaneous. Such relations are central to understanding species counterpoint. The method consists of an application of the vertical viewpoint technique, which relies on a vertical sl...
