Beat and meter extraction using gaussified onsets

Rhythm, beat and meter are key concepts of music in general. Many efforts had been made in the last years to automatically extract beat and meter from a piece of music given either in audio or symbolical representation (see e.g. [11] for an overview). In this paper we propose a new method for extracting beat, meter and phase information from a list of unquantized onset times. The procedure relies on a novel method called ’Gaussification’ and adopts correlation techniques combined with findings from music psychology for parameter settings.
