Saraga: research datasets of Indian Art Music

This repository contains time aligned melody, rhythm and structural annotations for two large open corpora of Indian Art Music (Carnatic and Hindustani music).

The repository contains the following manual annotations referring to audio files:

Section and tempo annotations stored as start and end timestamps together with the name of the section and tempo during the section (in a separate file). Sama annotations referring to rhythmic cycle boundaries stored as timestamps. Phrase annotations stored as timestamps and transcription of the phrases using solfège symbols ({S, r, R, g, G, m, M, P, d, D, n, N}). Audio features automatically extracted and stored: pitch and tonic.
