LEGATO 2: Toward Multimodal Sheet Music Recognition and Understanding
arXiv:2607. 05769v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose a novel pipeline, Legato 2, for extracting symbolic notation and semantic knowledge from images of sheet music.
Optical music recognition (OMR) transcribes music scores into digital formats. While the field has advanced significantly on monophonic and piano-form scores, multi-part score transcription remains underexplored, largely due to the absence of a suitable dataset.

Optical Music Recognition (OMR) has seen major progress in model design, with end-to-end methods now capable of recognising notation at all levels of complexity. However, the impact of this progress has been limited by the visual domains of available training datasets, which are largely born-digital.
arXiv:2608. 06165v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing audio-to-score (A2S) systems primarily focus on classical music, and the application to popular music remains underexplored.
arXiv:2607. 00777v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recognizing jazz standards from audio is a challenging form of tune-level music retrieval: different performances of the same standard may vary in tempo, key, arrangement, instrumentation, improvisational content, and even whether the head melody is present.
arXiv:2607. 08756v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present MulTTiPop, a dataset of pop music segments and their associated multitrack MIDI recordings for the evaluation of automatic music transcription models.
arXiv:2512. 02652v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing methods for expressive music performance rendering, a conditional generation task that aims to generate a human-like performance from a symbolic score, rely on supervised learning over small labeled datasets, which limits scaling of both data volume and model size, despite the availability of vast unlabeled music, as in vision and language.
arXiv:2606. 31338v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent music audio-language models achieve high accuracy on instrument question-answering benchmarks, but it remains unclear whether this reflects robust audio grounding or benchmark-specific shortcuts.
We present MulTTiPop, a dataset of pop music segments and their associated multitrack MIDI recordings for the evaluation of automatic music transcription models. MulTTiPop contains 572 segments of popular music totaling 3.
arXiv:2607. 18303v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Identifying which string produces a given pitch in monophonic electric guitar audio is a fundamental classification challenge: a single pitch can often be produced on multiple strings at different fret positions, with timbral differences that prior listening studies confirm are largely imperceptible to untrained humans.
arXiv:2606. 17301v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Search, a foundational operation in computer science, maps a query to a matching item in a collection.
arXiv:2607. 03650v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Extracting textual information from scanned medical documents, such as external laboratory reports and manually filled forms, has been a major challenge in modern electronic health records (EHRs).
arXiv:2607. 22413v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sample retrieval tools can help composers find harmonically compatible material, but querying from a fixed reference sample becomes less informative as arrangements evolve and the harmonic context shifts with each musical decision.
