"""Locate note onset events by picking peaks in an onset strength envelope.
The `peak_pick` parameters were chosen by large-scale hyper-parameter
optimization over the dataset provided by [#]_.
.. [#] https://github.com/CPJKU/onset_db
Parameters
----------
y : np.ndarray [shape=(n,)]
audio time series
sr : number > 0 [scalar]
sampling rate of ``y``
onset_envelope : np.ndarray [shape=(m,)]
(optional) pre-computed onset strength envelope
hop_length : int > 0 [scalar]
hop length (in samples)
units : {'frames', 'samples', 'time'}
The units to encode detected onset events in.
By default, 'frames' are used.
backtrack : bool
If ``True``, detected onset events are backtracked to the nearest
preceding minimum of ``energy``.
This is primarily useful when using onsets as slice points for segmentation.
energy : np.ndarray [shape=(m,)] (optional)
An energy function to use for backtracking detected onset events.
If none is provided, then ``onset_envelope`` is used.
normalize : bool
If ``True`` (default), normalize the onset envelope to have minimum of 0 and
maximum of 1 prior to detection. This is helpful for standardizing the
parameters of `librosa.util.peak_pick`.
Otherwise, the onset envelope is left unnormalized.
kwargs : additional keyword arguments
Additional parameters for peak picking.
See `librosa.util.peak_pick` for details.
Returns
-------
onsets : np.ndarray [shape=(n_onsets,)]
estimated positions of detected onsets, in whichever units
are specified. By default, frame indices.
.. note::
If no onset strength could be detected, onset_detect returns
an empty list.
Raises
------
ParameterError
if neither ``y`` nor ``onsets`` are provided
or if ``units`` is not one of 'frames', 'samples', or 'time'
