Abstract

Automatic chord transcription is the process of transforming the harmonic content of a music signal into chord symbols. We use difficult chord transcription cases in the Beatles material to compare human performance to computer performance. Surprisingly, in many cases musically oriented participants are unable to determine whether the chord is major or minor. We further analyze ambiguous chords and find out that there are often no clear rules for chord interpretation. This suggests that the standard evaluation method in automatic chord transcription based on a single ground truth is inadequate.

This has not always been the case. The figured bass notation used in J. S. Bach’s time resembles today’s chord symbols.
