Abstract

This paper investigates several enhancements to two well-established local alignment algorithms in the context of their use for melodic similarity. It uses the annotated dataset from the well-known Meertens Tune Collection to provide a ground truth and the research aim to answer the question, to what extent do these enhancements improve the quality of the algorithms? In the results, recursive application of the alignment algorithms, applied to a multilevel representation of the melodies, is shown to be very effective for improving the accuracy of the classification of the tunes into families. However, the ideas should be equally applicable to music search and melodic matching.
