Abstract:
Recent digitization efforts have led to large music collections, which contain
music documents of various modes comprising textual, visual and acoustic data.
In this paper, we present a multimodal music player for presenting and browsing
digitized music collections consisting of heterogeneous document types. In
particular, we concentrate on music documents of two widely used types for
representing a musical work, namely visual music representation (scanned images
of sheet music) and associated interpretations (audio recordings). We introduce
novel user interfaces for multimodal (audio-visual) music presentation as well
as intuitive navigation and browsing. Our system offers high quality audio
playback with time-synchronous display of the digitized sheet music associated
to a musical work. Furthermore, our system enables a user to seamlessly
crossfade between various interpretations belonging to the currently selected
musical work.
