A web based tool for annotation of musical patterns

Pridobivanje informacij iz glasbe predstavlja široko raziskovalno področje pod katero spada tudi iskanje glasbenih vzorcev. V diplomski nalogi implementiramo spletno orodje za anotacijo glasbenih vzorcev, ki raziskovalcem omogoči lažje zbiranje podatkov in nadomesti potrebo po digitalizaciji pisnih rezultatov. Ustvarjeno orodje uporabimo za izvedbo eksperimenta v sodelovanju z Oddelkom za muzikologijo Filozofske fakultete in Akademijo za glasbo Univerze v Ljubljani ter Oddelkom za glasbeno pedagogiko Pedagoške fakultete Univerze v Mariboru. Rezultat eksperimenta je obširna zbirka anotiranih glasbenih vzorcev, ki omogoči njihovo boljše razumevanje. V delu predstavimo tudi podrobno analizo zbranih podatkov in primerjavo anotacij študentov različnih študijskih smeri.Music Information Retrieval is an evolving field, which also includes research on music pattern discovery. This thesis describes the implementation of an online annotation tool, which allows researchers to more easily conduct pattern annotation experiments and removes the need for digitization of hand-written annotation. The tool is used in an experiment in collaboration with the Department of Musicology at the Faculty of Arts (University of Ljubljana) and the Academy of Music (University of Ljubljana) as well as the Department of Music Pedagogy at the Faculty of Education (University of Maribor). The result of the experiment is an annotated database of musical patterns. We present an analysis of the gathered user data and make comparisons between patterns annotated by students of the aforementioned groups
