Abstract
A system to convert digitized sheet music into a symbolic music representation is presented. A pragmatic approach is used that conceptualizes this primarily two-dimensional structural recognition problem as a one-dimensional one. The transparency of the implementation owes a great deal to its implementation in a dynamic, object-oriented language. This system is a part of a locally developed end-to-end solution for the conversion of digitized sheet music into symbolic form.
