page: `docbook-to-man manpage.sgml > manpage.1'. You may view
the manual page with: `docbook-to-man manpage.sgml | nroff -man |

docbook-to-man in your Build-Depends control field.

<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>This manual page documents briefly the <command>&dhpackage;</command> command.</para>
<para>The library <emphasis>aubio</emphasis> provides a small set of functions
to extract events and objects from audio, from live streams or still files.
Onsets are used to label the beginning of notes, pitches to label their
height.</para>
<para><command>aubionotes</command> is still in an experimental state. Its aim
is to segment notes with onsets, and label them with their detected pitch. When
started without an input file argument (<option>-i</option>), aubionotes
creates a jack input and a midi output. When an input file is given, it outputs
the results on the console.</para>

<title>OPTIONS</title>
<para>This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options
starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below.</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-i</option>
<option>--input filein</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>Run analysis on this audio file. Most common (uncompressed) formats are
supported.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-o</option>
<option>--output fileout</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>Save results in this file. The file will be created on the model of the
input file. Results are marked by a very short wood-block sample.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-P</option>
<option>--pitch mode</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>The pitch detection function to run. Available functions are
<emphasis>mcomb</emphasis>, <emphasis>yin</emphasis>,
<emphasis>fcomb</emphasis> and <emphasis>schmitt</emphasis>.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-O</option>
<option>--onset mode</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>The onset detection function to run. Available functions are
<emphasis>complexdomain</emphasis>, <emphasis>hfc</emphasis>,
<emphasis>phase</emphasis>, <emphasis>specdiff</emphasis>,
<emphasis>energy</emphasis>, <emphasis>kl</emphasis> and
<emphasis>mkl</emphasis>. By default, both Kullback Liebler (kl) and complex
domain are used in parallel.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-t</option>
<option>--threshold value</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>Set the threshold value for the onset peak picking. Typical values are
within <literal>0.001</literal> and <literal>0.900</literal>. Default is
<literal>0.1</literal>. The <emphasis>lower</emphasis> the <emphasis>more
sensible</emphasis>. Try <literal>0.3</literal> in case of
over-detections.</para>

<title>BUGS</title>
<para>For now the program has been only tested on audio signals sampled at 44.1
kHz. The pitch detectors are also way too cpu-intensive.</para>
