Challenges in Basso Continuo Performance-to-Score Alignment

Original language description

Basso continuo is a Baroque practice of creating harmonic improvisations above a given bass line. In addition to its historical heritage, it is also a living improvisation genre performed by most keyboard players in historically informed performance. However, present-day basso continuo performance has remained understudied empirically, mostly due to lack of data. One key enabler for such research is an automatic system that aligns basso continuo performances to the written bass line in the score. The task of basso continuo alignment, however, presents challenges that are distinct from those of standard performance-to-score alignment tasks, due to the underspecified notation of basso continuo. We analyze the specifics of basso continuo performance-to-score alignment through a dataset of basso continuo performances that we had previously introduced, based on manually annotated performance-to-score alignments of a subset of the pieces. From our analysis, we provide a compilation of challenges specific to
