A Simple Algorithm for Automatic Generation of Polyphonic Piano Fingerings
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel method for assigning fingers to notes in a polyphonic piano score. Such a mapping (called a “fingering”) is of great use to performers. To accommodate performers’ unique hand sha our method relies on a simple, user function. We use dynamic programming to search the space of all possible fingerings for the optimal fingering under this cost function. Despite the simplicity of the algorithm we achieve reasonable and useful results.

A variable neighbourhood search algorithm to generate piano fingerings for polyphonic sheet music
A good piano fingering is essential for pianists to play a piece fluently. Some examples of algorithms to generate a piano fingering automatically can be found in the literature. However, the existing methods can only generate fingerings for small, monophonic piano pieces for the right hand, minimising the difficulty. In this paper, we develop a variable neighbourhood search (VNS) algorithm tha...
متن کاملA variable neighborhood search algorithm to generate piano fingerings for polyphonic sheet music
A piano fingering indicates which finger should play each note in a piece. Such a guideline is very helpful for both amateur and experienced players in order to play a piece fluently. In this paper, we propose a variable neighborhood search algorithm to generate piano fingerings for complex polyphonic music, a frequently encountered case that was ignored in previous research. The algorithm take...
متن کاملTowards Automatic Music Transcription: Extraction of MIDI-Data out of Polyphonic Piano Music
Driven by the increasing amount of music available electronically the need of automatic search and retrieval systems for music becomes more and more important. In this paper an algorithm for automatic transcription of polyphonic piano music into MIDI data is presented, which is a very interesting basis for database applications and music analysis. The first part of the algorithm performs a note...
متن کاملAutomatic Transcription of Polyphonic Piano Music Using a Note Masking Technique
This paper describes a polyphonic note detection system incorporating a simple masking technique that can accurately transcribe chords and polyphonic piano music. The system, developed in MATLAB, will take input files in .wav format. The music is segmented by using Note Average Energy (NAE) onset detection. Onsets are used to segment the music into note windows which are then analysed using the...
متن کاملPolyhymnia: An Automatic Piano Performance System with Statistical Modeling of Polyphonic Expression and Musical Symbol Interpretation
We developed an automatic piano performance system called Polyhymnia that is able to generate expressive polyphonic piano performances with music scores so that it can be used as a computer-based tool for an expressive performance. The system automatically renders expressive piano music by means of automatic musical symbol interpretation and statistical models of structure-expression relations ...
