Abstract

We propose here a preliminary study on the definition of a search model that allows to look for musical scores that exactly or approximately match a query where the query defines the exact instrumentation wanted by the user. We define two versions of approximate matchings. In the first one, the ranking is done with a crisp matching of the instruments. In the second one we relax this constraint and we use a similarity between instruments. We present a first experiment and envision future works.
