Abstract
Most Optical Music Recognition workflows include several steps to retrieve the content from music score images. These steps typically comprise preprocessing, recognition, notation reconstruction and encoding. Currently, state-of-the-art models allow performing graphic recognition in an almost end-to-end fashion, performing the steps from preprocessing to recognition simultaneously. However, this graphic recognition has to be further processed to obtain a standard digital music representation. In this paper, we study the simultaneous recognition and encoding for a state-of-the-art OMR approach, based on neural networks, which receives a single staff-region image as input and directly obtains a sequence of characters that encodes the content in a standard music format. Our results confirm that performing OMR this way is feasible and brings additional benefits such as directly obtaining a version of the score readily available to be further processed or edited by standard tools.Keywords
