MUMBAI, India, Sept. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517053696 A) filed by Music App Inc., Houston, on June 3, for 'musical score performance alignment for automated performance evaluation.'
Inventor(s) include Grachten, Maarten; Choi, Sunny Sungeun; and Van Laarhoven, Frits.
The application for the patent was published on Sept. 26, under issue no. 39/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Techniques are described for musical score performance alignment for automated performance evaluation. Embodiments receive performed note data defining pitches and onset times of performed notes as a user performs a musical score, and the musical score is computationally represented by score note data defining pitches and onset times of score notes. The performed notes are automatically aligned to respective score notes by computing a highest likelihood sequence of complex hand states for a sequence of time steps, each corresponding to the onset timing of a respective one of the score notes. Evaluation feedback, including qualitative evaluation feedback, is automatically generated by pattern-matching the note-wise alignment to evaluation models. Several embodiments provide additional features, such as performing automated alignment, evaluation, and feedback while the user is performing the musical score, in context of two-handed performances, etc."
The patent application was internationally filed on Nov. 16, 2023, under International application No.PCT/US2023/080002.
