In the 'template generation' mode the program generates a text file that contains information of interest from the MusicXML file. We refer to the text file as the as the 'decoration' file because it allows the score to be further decorated by adding additional information to the score.

In the 'escore generation' mode the program outputs a data file in CSV format which contains the score in a format which is conveniently readable by a score matching program. The program also generates a MIDI file which allows the clarified score to be rendered with a sampler. An additional SVG (scalable vector graphics) file is generated which shows the score in piano roll form along with any problems that the program may have had during the conversion process.

Score Following and Timeline Marker Generator

Perform score following based tasks. Generate the time line marker information used by the performance program resource file.

cmtool --score_follow -c <csv_score_fn> -i <midi_in_fn> -r <report_fn> -s <svg_out_fn> -m <midi_out_fn> -t <timeline_fn>

Performance Measurement Generators

Given a performance program resource file generate performance measurements where the internal MIDI file is used as a substitute for a real player.

cmtool --meas_gen -p <pgm_rsrc_fn> -r <report_fn>

Example <pgm_rsrc_fn>:

{
  timeLineFn:   "kc/data/round2.js"
  tlPrefixPath: "projects/imag_themes/scores/gen"
  scoreFn:      "score.csv"

  //            pppp  ppp pp  p   mp  mf  f   ff  fff 
     dynRef: [   14,  28, 42, 56, 71, 85, 99, 113,128 ]

}

Example call with output file snippet:

cmtool --meas_gen -g ~/src/cmtools/examples/perf_meas/pgm_rsrc_round2.js -r ~/src/cmtools/examples/perf_meas/perf_meas_out.js

Score Merge

Copy the manual edits from 'frag.txt' to the correct location, beginning with measure 284, in the blank edit file 'edit0.txt'.

cmootls  --merge_edit -d edit0.txt  -b 284 -k frag.txt -o temp.txt

All the events in 'frag.txt' may not be able to be located in 'edit0.txt'. Warning messages will be generated for each of these events.

MIDI Audio Sync (MAS)

1. Synchronize Audio to MIDI based on onset patterns:

   a. Convert MIDI to audio impulse files:

    mas -m -i <midi_dir | midi_fn >  -o <out_dir> -s <srate>
   
    Notes:
   
    * If <midi_dir> is given then use all files in the directory as input otherwise convert a single file.
   
    * The files written to <out_dir> are audio files with impulses written at the location of note on msg's. The amplitude of the the impulse is velocity/127.
   

   b. Convert the onsets in audio file(s) to audio impulse file(s).

   mas -a -i <audio_dir | audio_fn > -o <out_dir>
   -w -f -u -r <wnd_frm_cnt> -x -t -z -e

   1. If <audio_dir> is given then use all files in the directory as input otherwise convert a single file.
   2. The onset detector uses a spectral flux based algorithm. See cmOnset.h/.c for an explanation of the onset detection parameters.

   c) Convolve impulse files created in a) and b) with a Hann window to widen the impulse width.

   mas -c -i <audio_dir | audio_fn > -o <out_dir> -w

   1. If <audio_dir> is given then use all files in the directory as input otherwise convert a single file.
   2. gives the width of the Hann window.

   d) Synchronize MIDI and Audio based convolved impulse files based on their onset patterns.

   mas -y -i <sync_cfg_fn.js> -o <sync_out_fn.js>

   1. The <sync_cfg_fn.js> file has the following format: { ref_dir : "/home/kevin/temp/mas/midi_conv" // location of ref files key_dir : "/home/kevin/temp/mas/onset_conv" // location of key files hop_ms : 25 // sliding window increment

      sync_array : [ // ref_fn wnd_beg_secs wnd_dur_secs key_fn key_beg_secs, key_end_secs [ "1.aif", 678, 113, "Piano 3_01.aif", 239.0, 417.0], [ "3.aif", 524, 61, "Piano 3_06.aif", 556.0, 619.0], ] }

      Notes: a. The 'window' is the section of the reference file which is compared to the key file search area <key_beg_secs> to <key_end_secs> by sliding it in increments of 'hop_ms' samples.

      b. Set 'key_end_secs' to 0 to search to the end of the file.

      c. When one key file matches to multiple reference files the key files sync recd should be listed consecutively. This way the earlier searches can stop when they reach the beginning of the next sync records search region. See sync_files().

      Note that by setting <key_beg_secs> to a non-zero value as occurs in the multi-key-file case has a subtle effect of changing the master-slave relationship between the reference an key file.

      In general the reference file is the master and the key file is the slave. When a non-zero <key_beg_secs> is given however this relationship reverses. See masCreateTimeLine() for how this is used to assign file group id's during the time line creation.

   2. The <sync_out_fn.js> has the following form.

         {
           "sync" : 
           {
             "refDir" : "/home/kevin/temp/mas/midi_conv"     
             "keyDir" : "/home/kevin/temp/mas/onset_conv"     
             "hopMs" : 25.000000     

             "array" : 
             [
              
               //
               // sync results for "1.aif" to "Piano 3_01.aif"
               //

               {
                 // The following block of fields were copied from  <sync_cfg_fn.js>. 
                 "refFn"         : "1.aif"         
                 "refWndBegSecs" : 678.000000         
                 "refWndSecs"    : 113.000000         
                 "keyFn"         : "Piano 3_01.aif"         
                 "keyBegSecs"    : 239.000000         
                 "keyEndSecs"    : 417.000000 
        
                 // Sync. location of the 'window' in the key file.
                 // Sample index into the key file which matches to the first sample 
                 // in the reference window.
                 "keySyncIdx" : 25768800     // Offset into the key file of the best match.
    
                 "syncDist"  : 4184.826108   // Match distance score for the sync location.          
                 "refSmpCnt" : 200112000     // Count of samples in the reference file.       
                 "keySmpCnt" : 161884800     // Count of samples in the key file.        
                 "srate"     : 96000.000000  // Sample rate of the reference and key file.
               },
             ]    
           }  
         }

2. Create a time line from the results of a synchronization. A time line is a data structure (See cmTimeLine.h/.c) which maintains a time based ordering of Audio files, MIDI files, and arbitrary markers.

   mas -g -i <sync_out_fn.js> -o <time_line_out_fn.js> -R <ref_dir> -K <key_dir> -M <ref_ext> -A <key_ext>

| <sync_out_fn.js> The output file produced as a result of a previous MIDI <-> Audio synchronization. |
| <ref_dir> Location of the reference files (MIDI) used for the synchronization. | <ref_ext> File extension used by the reference files. | <key_dir> Locate of the key files (Audio) used for the synchronization. | <key_ext> File extension used by the key files.

a. The time line 'trackId' assigned to each time line object is based on the files 'groupId'. A common group id is given to sets of files which are locked in time relative to one another. For example if file B and C are synced to master file A and file D is synced to file E which is synced to master file F. Then files A,B,C will be given one group id and files D,E and F will be given another group id. (See masCreateTimeLine()).

b. The time line object 'offset' values gives the offset in samples where the object begins relative to other objects in the group. Note that the master object in the group may not begin at offset 0 if there are slave objects which start before it.

TODO:

• replace round2.csv time with the times in the full fragment MIDI file

• update timeline lite to allow for a synchronized audio file

• change the build setup to default to getting libcm from the system and allow an option to build it from src/libcm

• for all svg output create a standalone flag that wraps the output in HTML and another option to load pan-zoom.

• MIDI report output example and description

• Timeline report output example and description
