The role of Music IR in the New Zealand Digital Music Library project.
David Bainbridge · International Symposium/Conference on Music Information Retrieval · 2000
Introduction MELDEX—the name given to our digital music library project—is a Web-based system that supports searching through text and sung queries, and browsing through automatically compiled lists of metadata, such as titles. Sample collections include 1,000 popular tunes derived from sheet music using Optical Music Recognition (OMR) software, 10,000 folksongs donated by two other computer music projects, and 100,000 MIDI files gathered from the Web at large.
