Measuring rhythm similarity is relevant for the analysis and generation of music. Existing
similarity metrics tend to consider our perception of rhythms as being in time without …

In the proposed approach, melodic similarity is computed as a content-based information
retrieval task. To this end, the initial incipit is considered as the query in a query-byexample …
