[CLAM] Inquiry about chordextractor output file

[Keiichiro Hoashi]

David,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Let us check a little more detail about the XML file..

Here's a snippet from an XML file that was output by the chordextractor:

---
<AttributePool name="Chords_Harte" size="1028">0.464399 0.835918 
0.835918 1.48608 1.48608 1.67184 1.67184 3.43655 3.43655 3.52943 ... 
</AttributePool>
...
<ScopePool name="ExtractedChord" size="514">
     <AttributePool name="Root">
       <Enumerated>G</Enumerated>
       <Enumerated>C</Enumerated>
       ...
     </AttributePool>
     <AttributePool name="Mode">
       <Enumerated>Major</Enumerated>
       <Enumerated>Major</Enumerated>
     </AttributePool>
     </AttributePool>
   </ScopePool>
---

Based on our analysis, we're assuming that the above "Chords_Harte" 
values indicate the start and end times (in secs) of each "segment". 
Furthermore, we're also assuming that the chord extraction results 
written in  <AttributePool name="Root"> and <AttributePool name="Mode"> 
express the chords of each extracted "segment". For example, the first 
segment of the above input song is from 0.464399sec ~ 0.0835918sec, and 
its estimated chord is "G" + "Major". Is this understanding correct?

Sincerely,

KH
