The MuseScore Parser ms3

The DCML has created a large collection of ~1,000 annotated MuseScore files which contain harmonic analysis encoded in the DCML harmonic annotation standard. So far, only a very small portion of it, the Annotated Beethoven Sonatas, is publicly available, but the rest will follow suit. In this short presentation (< 8 minutes), Johannes gives an outlook on the corpus that is about to be released next and showcases the Python library ms3. He demonstrates how the parser can be used to extract notes and annotations from MuseScore files and gives examples of how the extracted information can be evaluated.
