Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02084641A1] The invention relates to a method for converting a music signal into a note-based description. Said method consists in producing a frequency-time-representation of the music signal (10). The frequency-time-representation comprises co-ordinating tupels, whereby a co-ordinate tuple has a frequency value and a temporal value; the temporal value indicates the time of the occurrence of the associated frequency in the music signal. The inventive method also consists in calculating a FITfunction as a function of time (12), whose progression is determined by the co-ordinate tuples of the frequency-time representation. At least two neighbouring extreme values of the FITfunction are determined (14) for temporal segmentation of the frequency-time-representation. Segmentation is carried out (16) based on the extreme value thus determined.
