A cumulative timestamp protocol yields millisecond-resolution bar-level BPM data for polyphonic chamber music and captures expressive timing missed by automated detectors, demonstrated on over 100 Beethoven sonata recordings.
Cosmodoit is a modular Python package that pipelines performance-to-score alignment with symbolic and audio feature extraction to enable efficient, dependency-aware processing of performed music.
The paper introduces and demonstrates a complementary set of five visualizations including tempographs, spline-smoothed histograms, ridgeline plots, stacked bar charts, and combination charts for bar-level tempo data from Beethoven piano and cello sonata recordings spanning 1930-2012.
