I agree that music recognition from sound recordings is highly non-trivial, but not with the phrase "even more complicated". Decoding scanned music is much easier than OCR. For example, you know that you have to identify five equispaced solid parallel lines. That is much easier than identifying the baseline of text. You have only eleven possible note positions on the staff, in contrast with over 50 possible letters and digits. Etc. In fact, recognizing scanned music is more reliable than working from the MIDI files you get from a piece on a Roland. > Recognition of music events like midi or musicxml from recorded > performances is most likely dramatically more complicated. With that I agree wholeheartedly. ------------------------------- TeX-music@tug.org mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
