I have a fake book which has a song finder. For a sequence of notes, just write down whether each note is higher, lower, or the same as the preceding note. There is a table at the end listing, for all such sequences, the songs that match the sequence. Works like a champ.

I've always thought it would be nice to write an engine to crawl the entire classical ouvre looking for more examples of cockney influences, in a homage to the great Bill Bailey[0]

Looks like these people have sort of genericised that idea, but what I'm talking about is more of a fuzzy search. Shame the code isn't available along with the dataset.

EDIT: the "shave and a haircut" riff is better known in the UK as the "cockney intro," so I guess it's not there?

Typing in numbers is not the easiest of user interfaces. Why not a JavaScript piano?

I see one here on Chrome.

Nice, but it needs a bigger backend library. I entered the "shave and a haircut" riff and received no meaningful results.

From the FAQ: "scores published in the last 85 years are mostly copyrighted and therefore unavailable in our corpus" [ http://www.peachnote.com/info.html ]. The corpus comes from http://imslp.org/ , a site mostly devoted to out of copyright scores (e.g. "classical" music).

Mostly unrelated, but if you're interested in hip hop sample sources, check out http://www.the-breaks.com/ . For example, here are uses of the Amen break: http://www.the-breaks.com/search.php?term=winstons&type=...

But Google was still able to mine the data even it's copyrighted. Wouldn't it be possible under fair use clause for research?

It'd be nice if it was possible to search up an exact song based on the melody. Sometimes I remember a melody but I can't remember what song it came from, and it drives me nuts trying to find it.

I've been thinking about something like this for a while actually. My dreams have come true...

Would love to see a version of this for popular music
