Abstract
Existing symbolic music comparison systems generally consider monophonic music or monophonic reduction of polyphonic music. Adaptation of alignment algorithms to music leads to accurate systems, but their extensions to polyphonic music raise new problems. Indeed, a chord may match several consecutive notes, or the difference between two similar motifs may be a few swapped notes. Moreover, the substitution scores between chords are difficult to set up. In this paper, we propose a general framework for polyphonic music using the substitution score scheme set for monophonic music, which allows new operations by extending the operations proposed by Mongeau and Sankoff [15]. From a practical point of view, the limitation of chord sizes and the number of notes that can be merged consecutively lead to a complexity that remains quadratic.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
