Hi.
I have a bare-bone melody dictation utility that generates "mudela"
output (Linux). At the moment it's just a demo with little practical
usefulness: you start it, it listens to the mic for a selectable amount
of time, then prints out the pitches you played or sang, with no
duration.
Internally the programs has an estimation of the note duration so that
it is possible to generate a complete transcription of the melody. I was
wondering what is the best way to do this.
I see two possibilities:
1) The user declare the duration of the first note, then the subsequent
duration are quantized and scaled accordingly.
2) The user declares the tempo (like in a MIDI file), then he sings (or
plays) "a tempo".
Does anybody know how to embed such a program in an editor? (Emacs?)
Mic2mu and the underlying pitchtracking library are GPLed and I can send
mic2mu sources by email.
Thanks,
Maurizio Umberto Puxeddu
