# musif




Python library for **Music Feature Extraction and Analysis**, developed by the [Didone Project](https://didone.eu/). 



### Documentation

To read the documentation, please see the website at: https://musif.didone.eu

Includes definitions for musif's functions and classes, definitions for all types of features that musif extracts, as well as example code for using musif.



You will find also two tutorials:

- A basic Tutorial, to just start using musif and extracting some features and even running some ML experiments with them.

- An Advanced Tutorial, to extract features of different corpora and create your own hooks and features.



### Installation

To install the latest version of musif, just run

`pip install musif`

which will download musif and all its necessary dependencies.



## music21 and jSymbolic features

Currently, musif is able to process and integrate basic music21 features.



For jSymbolic features, musif currently does not support the integration of these features, but a tutorial will be provided to manually merge them into musif's dataframe.



#### jSymbolic installation

Java JRE >= 8 must be installed in your OS. Download jSymbolic from https://sourceforge.net/projects/jmir/files/jSymbolic/



*Important*: right now music21 features are NOT guaranteed to be compatible with musif's cache system. Native musif's features work with cache system just fine. 

 

## Testing and features extraction

Apart from the documentation of musif, where Tutorials and example code can be found, please feel free to clone and check this repository, where musif is used to extract features from different corpuses

#### v1.1.4

* include MUSIF_ID

* bug fix in dynamic features

* include Key Signature feature

* minor bug fixes in the post-processor

* handling of errors for speciic configurations



#### v1.1.1 - v1.1.3

* fixed major bug with music21 automatic onversion to MIDI for jSymbolic features

* added exception handling for jSymbolic

* fixed repeats for MIDI conversion for jSymbolic

* fixed initial anacrusis



#### v1.1.0

* bug fixing

* improved musif parsing abilities for non-well formatted files

* added option `ignore_errors` for ignoring errors while parsing large datasets

* better file naming for cache

* automatically removing unpitched objects (e.g. percussion symbols)
