Abstract
A system that recognizes common rhythmic patterns through template matching is described. The use of template matching gives the user the unusual ability to modify the set of templates used for analysis. This modification effects a tradeoff between the temporal accuracy required of the input and the complexity of the recognizable rhythm patterns that happen to be common in a particular piece of music. The evolving implementation of this algorithm has received heavy use over a six-year period and has proven itself as a practical and reliable input method for fast music transcription. It is concluded that templates demonstrably provide the necessary temporal context for accurate rhythm recognition.Keywords
