Jan 1, 2026

Performance-focused monthly update for January 2026 (CPJKU/partitura). Key features delivered include a configurable aggregation function to merge multiple performed onset times into a single score onset, enabling flexible performance analysis. Major bug fix implemented to improve onset timing precision by rounding before converting beats to divisions in the processing pipeline. Overall impact: higher accuracy of onset calculations, more reliable performance analysis, and greater data quality for downstream scoring and analytics. Technologies/skills demonstrated: precise numerical handling, pipeline-level data aggregation, and effective change traceability via commit-level updates.

June 2025 CPJKU/partitura monthly summary: Delivered improvements to MIDI import and multi-track handling for MATCH files, including warnings for files with multiple tracks and proper attribution of sustain/soft pedal events to track and channel data. Reverted sanitization changes to restore accurate channel and track metadata for sustain and soft pedal events, enhancing the fidelity of performance data. These updates reduce data drift in analytics, increase reliability for performers and educators, and strengthen the foundation for future MIDI-based performance analysis.

April 2025: Fixed ShortTimeFFT boundary handling and frame-count calculation in scipy/scipy. Corrected the upper border condition from < to <= for right-edge handling and updated the STFT wrapper's p1 frame calculation to reflect the actual number of frames. Removed unnecessary workaround code that caused test failures in time-slice and frame-count logic, and stabilized test_spectral.py. Overall, this improves spectral analysis accuracy, reliability of time-frequency representations, and reduces test regressions in the core STFT pathway.

Jan 1, 2025

Monthly summary for 2025-01 focusing on CPJKU/partitura: Delivered key features for segment management and time handling, fixed a blocking condition in segment creation, and expanded timing granularity to support tick-based timing. Refactored segment creation flow, added robust docs for the force_new parameter, and adjusted the default segment path to its ASCII equivalent for consistency. Implemented tick as a new global time unit, updated the time units list, and tuned pianoroll computation to correctly handle onset_tick for finer temporal resolution. These changes enhance reliability, accuracy, and maintainability, enabling more precise sequencing and richer timing options.
