Abstract

Large quantities of scanned music are now available in public digital music libraries. However, the information in such sources is represented as pixel data in images rather than symbolic information about the notes of a piece of music, and therefore it is opaque to musically meaningful computational processes (e.g., to search for a particular melodic pattern). Optical Music Recognition (Optical Character Recognition for music) holds out the prospect of a solution to this issue and allowing access to very large quantities of musical information in digital libraries. Despite the efforts made by the different commercial OMR developers to improve the accuracy of their systems, mistakes in the output are currently too frequent to make OMR a practical tool for bulk processing.
