Computational Modeling of Chord Fingering for String Instruments

Fingering is a cognitive process that maps each note on a music score to a fingered position on some instrument.This paper presents a computational model for the fingering process with string instruments, based on a constraint satisfaction approach.The model is implemented in a computer program, which has been tested in an experiment in comparison with three human experts.The results have confirmed the predictions based on a set of constraints that encode the bio-mechanical aspects of the performer's hand in its interaction with the musical instrument.
