Classification and Recognition of Neume Note Notation in Historical Documents
نویسنده
چکیده
Neume musical notation is a type of writing of Christian Orthodox Church chant originated in Ancient Byzantium, which is still used by the Orthodox Church. The big varieties of preserved historical documents, which contain neumes give reach material for investigations in fields like history, cultural sciences, etc. This causes the natural need of a software package which can help these investigations. Such software can be OCR (Optical Character Recognition) based which will help the analyses of the neume notation in the scanned historical documents. In this paper we present an overview of the methods, which can be used to create a system for automated recognition of neumes.

Neon.js: Neume Editor Online
This paper introduces Neon.js, a browser-based music notation editor written in JavaScript. The editor can be used to manipulate digitally encoded musical scores in square-note notation. This type of notation presents certain challenges to a music notation editor, since many neumes (groups of pitches) are ligatures—continuous graphical symbols that represent multiple notes. Neon.js will serve a...
متن کاملAutomatic Pitch Detection in Printed Square Notation
In this paper we present our research in the development of a pitch-finding system to extract the pitches of neumes—some of the oldest representations of pitch in Western music— from the Liber Usualis, a well-known compendium of plainchant as used in the Roman Catholic church. Considerations regarding the staff position, staff removal, spaceand linezones, as well as how we treat specific neume ...

This paper shows how we can make advantage of using genetic programming in selection of suitable features for automatic modulation recognition. Automatic modulation recognition is one of the essential components of modern receivers. In this regard, selection of suitable features may significantly affect the performance of the process. Simulations were conducted with 5db and 10db SNRs. Test and ...

متن کاملInvariant Fourier Descriptors Representation of Medieval Byzantine Neume Notation
During the last decade a lot of effort has been put in studying of the Fourier descriptors (FD) and their application in 2D shape representation and matching. Often FD has been preferred to other approaches (moments, wavelet descriptors) because of their properties which allow their translational, scale, rotational and contour start-point change invariance. However, there is a lack in the liter...
