musif 1.1.3

Music feature extraction library from the DIDONE project

musif

Python library for Music Feature Extraction and Analysis, developed by Didone Project.

For more info, see the documentation website at: https://musif.didone.eu

Instalation

To install the latest version of musif, just run pip install musif which will download musif and all its necessary dependencies.

jSymbolic and music21 features

Currently, musif is able to process and integrate jsymbolic as well as basic music21 features. If jsymbolic features are selected, Java JRE >= 8 must be installed in your OS and the JAVA_HOME environment variable correctly set. jSymbolic will be downloaded automatically at the first run. You can force the download of jSymbolic and the check of Java installation by running python -m musif.extract.features.jsymbolic.

Important: right now jSymbolic features are NOT guaranteed to be compatible with musif's cache system, unlike the other stock features and music21 ones.
