Methods from string and pattern matching have recently been applied to many problems in music retrieval. We consider the so-called lead sheet problem , where symbolic representations of the harmony, melody, and, usually, bass line are presented separately. This is a common situation in some forms of popular music but is also significant for ‘classical’ music in many cases. A number of different but related musical situations are analysed and efficient algorithms are presented for music retrieval in each one. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
