چکیده
The goal of MuSA is to create a robust and reliable system for recognizing and visualizing tonal patterns using the Spiral Array model for tonality [1]. This endeavor requires the developing of algorithms for abstracting and extracting pitch/time structures (see Figure 1) in music information. The resulting algorithms are fundamental tools for automated transcription, computer music analysis, composition, segmentation, synchronization and retrieval, and expression synthesis.

PST : Pitch Spelling
Pitch spelling is the process of assigning contextually correct letter names to numeric representations for musical pitch such as MIDI numbers. Each pitch is represented by a number in MIDI and other digital formats, and the same number, say, 58 could map to A# or Bb depending on the key context. Accurate pitch spelling is a critical component of systems for automated transcription, computer mu...
متن کاملAutomatic Pitch Spelling: From Numbers to Sharps and Flats
In this paper a computational model is described that transcribes polyphonic MIDI pitch files into the Western traditional music notation. Input to the proposed algorithm input is merely a sequence of MIDI pitch numbers in the order they appear in a MIDI file. No a priori knowledge is required such as key signature, tonal centers, time signature, voice separation and so on. Output of the algori...
متن کاملA Directional Interval Class Representation of Chord Transitions
Chords are commonly represented, at a low level, as absolute pitches (or pitch classes) or, at a higher level, as chords types within a given tonal/harmonic context (e.g. roman numeral analysis). The former is too elementary, whereas, the latter, requires sophisticated harmonic analysis. Is it possible to represent chord transitions at an intermediate level that is transposition-invariant and i...
متن کاملPitch Spelling: a Computational Model
In this article, cognitive and musicological aspects of pitch and pitch interval representations are explored via computational modeling. The specific task under investigation is pitch spelling, that is, how traditional score notation can be derived from a simple unstructured 12-tone representation (e.g., pitch-class set or MIDI pitch representation). This study provides useful insights both in...
متن کاملRunning head : PITCH HEIGHT AND TONAL PRIMING 1 Tonal priming
Research on tonal priming has consistently shown that tonally expected events are processed more efficiently, and confirmed that the locus of the effect is cognitive rather than sensory. However it is also important to investigate the role of pitch height, because models of tonal priming collapse across octave, yet it is possible that pitch height may modulate the effectiveness of tonal priming...
