Separating Voices in Polyphonic Music: A Contig Mapping Approach

Voice separation is a critical component of music information retrieval, music analysis and automated transcription systems. We present a contig mapping approach to voice separation based on perceptual principles. The algorithm runs in O(n) time, uses only pitch height and event boundaries, and requires no user-defined parameters. The method segments a piece into contigs according to voice coun...

Voices in Polyphonic Music : A Contig Mapping Approach

The algorithm presented in this paper uses basic principles of music perception to separate voices in polyphonic music using contig mapping. Three metrics are proposed to evaluate performance and accuracy of the automatically separated voices. These metrics are: the average fragment consistency (AFC), the correct fragment connection rate (CFC), and the average voice consistency (AVC). In this m...
