Journal of New Music Research 36.1 (2007): 51-60. http://labrosa.ee.columbia.edu/projects/beattrack/ Parameters ---------- y : np.ndarray [shape=(..., n)] or None audio time series sr : number > 0 [scalar] sampling rate of ``y`` onset_envelope : np.ndarray [shape=(..., m)] or None (optional) pre-computed onset strength envelope. hop_length : int > 0 [scalar] number of audio samples between successive ``onset_envelope`` values start_bpm : float > 0 [scalar] initial guess for the tempo estimator (in beats per minute) tightness : float [scalar] tightness of beat distribution around tempo trim : bool [scalar] trim leading/trailing beats with weak onsets bpm : float [scalar] or np.ndarray [shape=(...)] (optional) If provided, use ``bpm`` as the tempo instead of estimating it from ``onsets``. If multichannel, tempo estimates can be provided for all channels. Tempo estimates may also be time-varying, in which case the shape of ``bpm`` should match that of ``onset_envelope``, i.e., one estimate provided for each frame. prior : scipy.stats.rv_continuous [optional] An optional prior distribution over tempo. If provided, ``start_bpm`` will be ignored. units : {'frames', 'samples', 'time'} The units to encode detected beat events in. By default, 'frames' are used. sparse : bool If ``True`` (default), detections are returned as an array of frames, samples, or time indices (as specified by ``units=``). If ``False``, detections are encoded as a dense boolean array where ``beats[..., n]`` is true if there's a beat at frame index ``n``. .. note:: multi-channel input is only supported when ``sparse=False``. Returns ------- tempo : float [scalar, non-negative] or np.ndarray estimated global tempo (in beats per minute) If multi-channel and ``bpm`` is not provided, a separate tempo will be returned for each channel beats : np.ndarray estimated beat event locations. If `sparse=True` (default), beat locations are given in the specified units (default is frame indices).

[#]_ The PLP method analyzes the onset strength envelope in the frequency domain to find a locally stable tempo for each frame. These local periodicities are used to synthesize local half-waves, which are combined such that peaks coincide with rhythmically salient frames (e.g. onset events on a musical time grid). The local maxima of the pulse curve can be taken as estimated beat positions. This method may be preferred over the dynamic programming method of `beat_track` when the tempo is expected to vary significantly over time. Additionally, since `plp` does not require the entire signal to make predictions, it may be preferable when beat-tracking long recordings in a streaming setting. .. [#] Grosche, P., & Muller, M.
