Abstract
Since there has been a growing interest in the analysis of handwritten music scores, we have tried to foster this interest by proposing in ICDAR and GREC two different competitions: Staff removal and Writer identification. Both competitions have been tested on the CVC-MUSCIMA database of handwritten music score images. In the corresponding ICDAR publication, we have described the ground-truth, the evaluation metrics, the participants’ methods and results. As a result of the discussions with attendees in ICDAR and GREC concerning our music competition, we decided to propose a new experiment for an extended competition. Thus, this paper is focused on this extended competition, describing the new set of images and analyzing the new results.
