Theorganization targeted in the project of this thesis includes the segmentation of sheet musicbooks and audio CD collections into individual songs or movements, mapping the resultingsegments to corresponding records in a database of metadata, and temporally synchronizingthe sheet music documents and audio recordings that belong to the same piece of music ona bar-wise level. Building up a digital music library with a large collection of digitized sheetmusic and audio recordings requires automated methods for organizing the data, because amanual organization is too expensive and time-consuming.
