Text Visualization of Song Lyrics
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate techniques for visualizing song lyrics. Specifically, we present a design to tightly align musical and linguistic features of a song in a way that preserves the readability of lyrics, while conveying how the melodic, harmonic, and metric lines of the music fit with the text. We demonstrate and evaluate our technique on two examples that have been implemented using Protovis, and propose an approach to automating the data creation procedure using MIDI files with lyrics events as an input.
