MusicT~X: Using TEX to Write Polyphonic or Instrumental Music
نویسنده
چکیده
MusicT~X is a set of TEX or LATEX macros initially posted three years ago and now used by dozens of music typesetters which are fit to typeset polyphonic, instrumental or orchestral music. It is able to handle an important number of instruments or voices (up to nine) and staffs (up to four for each instrument). Many of the usual ornaments have been provided, including several note sizes whch can handle grace notes or extra music like cadenzas. A recent enhancement consisted of providing a facility for several staff sizes in the same score, thus enabling full size staffs to smaller "reminding" staffs. The WX version is not really fit for printing full scores but it has be used to produce musicographc texts including many (small but numerous) music excerpts. Except for the risk of typing errors due to a sophsticated set of macros, the major difficulty still resides in glue and line breaking in the case of irregular music and slurs.

It is to be emphasized that MusicTEX is not intended to be a compiler which would translate into TEX some standard musical notations, nor to decide by itself about aesthetic problems in music typing. MusicTEX only typesets staves, notes, chords, beams, slurs and ornaments as requested by the composer. Since it makes very few typesetting decisions, MusicTEX appears to be a versatile and rather p...
متن کاملSinging voice detection in polyphonic music using predominant pitch
This paper demonstrates the superiority of energy-based features derived from the knowledge of predominant-pitch, for singing voice detection in polyphonic music over commonly used spectral features. However, such energy-based features tend to misclassify loud, pitched instruments. To provide robustness to such accompaniment we exploit the relative instability of the pitch contour of the singin...

Ethno-musicology is an academic field encompassing various approaches to the study of music that emphasize its cultural, social, material, cognitive, biological, and other dimensions or contexts instead of its isolated ‘sound’ component or any particular repertoire. The term ‘Ethno-musicology’ became common in1950, although the emergence of the field can be traced back to the late nineteenth ce...
متن کاملTimbre and Melody Features for the Recognition of Vocal Activity and Instrumental Solos in Polyphonic Music
We propose the task of detecting instrumental solos in polyphonic music recordings, and the usage of a set of four audio features for vocal and instrumental activity detection. Three of the features are based on the prior extraction of the predominant melody line, and have not been used in the context of vocal/instrumental activity detection. Using a support vector machine hidden Markov model w...
متن کاملA missing feature approach to instrument identification in polyphonic music
Gaussian mixture model (GMM) classifiers have been shown to give good instrument recognition performance for monophonic music played by a single instrument. However, many applications (such as automatic music transcription) require instrument identification from polyphonic, multi-instrumental recordings. We address this problem by incorporating ideas from missing feature theory into a GMM class...
