This paper describes the design and creation of an unprecedentedly large database of over
2400 structural annotations of nearly 1400 musical recordings. The database is intended to …

We introduce the Harmonix set: a collection of annotations of beats, downbeats, and
functional segmentation for over 900 full tracks that covers a wide range of western popular …

Pop music generation has always been an attractive topic for both musicians and scientists
for a long time. However, automatically composing pop music with a satisfactory structure is …

One of the central goals of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) is the quantification of similarity
between or within pieces of music. These quantitative relations should mirror the human …

This paper proposes a method for recovering the sectional form of a musical piece from an
acoustic signal. The description of form consists of a segmentation of the piece into musical …

A central concern for theories of form in pop/rock music is the division of a song into sections
and, consequently, the categorization of these sections according to a standard set of …

The task of music structure analysis refers to automatically identifying the location and the
nature of musical sections within a song. In the supervised scenario, structural annotations …

Music structure analysis (MSA) methods traditionally search for musically meaningful
patterns in audio: homogeneity, repetition, novelty, and segment-length regularity. Hand …
