New dataset targets optical music recognition for string quartets

Researchers have introduced OSSQ-OMR, the first dataset specifically designed for optical music recognition (OMR) of multi-part musical scores, particularly string quartets. This dataset, derived from the OpenScore String Quartet corpus, pairs scanned music sheets from IMSLP with their digital transcriptions. It includes over 24,000 system images and 98,000 staff images, with transcriptions available in Extended Linearized MusicXML, kern, and ABC formats. A benchmark protocol and baseline results from LSTM and Transformer models are also provided, highlighting the impact of encoding choices and the models' performance on scanned versus synthetic inputs.

    A Dataset and Benchmark for Optical Music Recognition of String Quartet Scores

    arXiv:2608.10978v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: 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 …
