Improved Score Following for Acoustic Performances
Bryan Pardo, William P. Birmingham · 2002
This paper examines the standard string-matching approach to automated score following of an acoustic performance, looking at limitations imposed by both the score representation used and the matching approach. The approach is then extended through the incorporation of duration information and matchscores based on a model of transcriber error. The resulting score follower promises to allow computerbased accompaniment to follow acoustic performances in situations where earlier systems would fail. 1
