Optical music recognition in TensorFlow

Moonlight Optical Music Recognition (OMR)

An experimental optical music recognition engine.

Moonlight reads PNG image(s) containing sheet music and outputs MusicXML or a NoteSequence message. MusicXML is a standard sheet music interchange format, and NoteSequence is used by Magenta for training generative music models.

Moonlight is not an officially supported Google product.

Command-Line Usage

git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/moonlight
cd moonlight
# You may want to run this inside a virtualenv.
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Build the OMR command-line tool.
bazel build moonlight:omr
# Prints a Score message.
bazel-bin/moonlight/omr moonlight/testdata/IMSLP00747-000.png
# Scans several pages and prints a NoteSequence message.
bazel-bin/moonlight/omr --output_type=NoteSequence IMSLP00001-*.png
# Writes MusicXML to ~/mozart.xml.
bazel-bin/moonlight/omr --output_type=MusicXML --output=$HOME/mozart.xml \
    corpus/56/IMSLP56442-*.png

The omr CLI will print a Score message by default, or MusicXML or a NoteSequence message if specified.

Moonlight is intended to be run in bulk, and will not offer a full UI for correcting the score. The main entry point will be an Apache Beam pipeline that processes an entire corpus of images.

There is no release yet, and Moonlight is not ready for end users. To run interactively or import the module, you can use the sandbox directory.

Dependencies

• Protobuf 3.6.1
• Bazel 0.20.0. We encountered some errors using Bazel 0.21.0 to build Protobuf 3.6.1, which is the latest Protobuf release at the time of writing.
• Python dependencies specified in the requirements.
