Abstract
Music can be represented in many different ways. In particular, audio and sheet music renditions are of high importance in Western classical music. For choral music, a sheet music representation typically consists of several parts (for the individual singing voice sections) and possibly an accompaniment. Within a choir rehearsal scenario, there are various tasks that can be supported by techniques developed in music information retrieval (MIR). For example, it may be helpful for a singer if both, audio and sheet music modalities, are present synchronously—a well-known task that is known as score following. Furthermore, listening to individual parts of choral music can be very instructive for practicing. The listening experience can be enhanced by switching between the audio tracks of a suitable multi-track recording. In this contribution, we introduce a web-based interface that integrates score-following and track-switching functionalities, build upon already existing web technology.
