OrchView is a postdoctoral research project by Dr. Félix Frédéric Baril (D.Mus. McGill University), built in collaboration with Baptiste Bohelay (Ircam, Master's in Computer Science).
It was conceived for the ACTOR Project at McGill University under the supervision of Prof. Stephen McAdams (Canada Research Chair in Music Perception and Cognition).
As a score-based orchestration analysis platform, OrchView allow users to annotate music scores in PDF or XML format.
It integrates a variety of annotation tools designed for a technical or a perceptual analysis of orchestration.
Data on each annotation, including instruments and measure range, is automatically written in a XML file in a format which is suitable for a research environment.
Timestamps for multiple audio recordings may be set and the playback cursor position will follow when selecting an annotation in the annotation list.
