Abstract

Optical Music Recognition (OMR) is a process that employs computer science techniques to musical scores recognition. This paper presents the development framework of “Copista”, an OMR system proposed to recognize handwritten scores especially regarding a historical music collection. “Copista” is the Brazilian word for Scribe, someone who writes music scores. The proposed system is useful to music collection preservation and supporting further research and development of OMR systems.
