Aligned annotations for RWC-MDB-J (pieces 16-20)

--

This dataset contains automatically aligned MIDI files that correspond to recordings from the RWC database [1]. Automatic alignment was made using the method of [2]. The result was not manually corrected and might contain local alignment errors. The MIDI files correspond to pieces 16-20 from collection RWC-MDB-J (Jazz). The dataset was created and used in the following paper:

E. Benetos, S. Ewert, and T. Weyde, "Automatic transcription of pitched and unpitched sounds from polyphonic music", in IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, Florence, Italy, 5 pages, May 2014.

If you use the dataset, please cite the above paper.

The annotations consist of 3 files per recording:

* RM-J0XX_warped.mid
* RM-J0XX_warped_drums.mid
* RM-J0XX_warped_pitched.mid

Where XX = {16,...20}. The first file contains MIDI annotations for both pitched and percussive parts. The 2nd file contains annotations for the percussive part only, and the 3rd file contains annotations for the pitched part only.
