Abstract
An onset in musical signals is the time at which a note begins. Onset detection is important in computer analyses of musical performances in order to determine tempo, rhythm, and correctness. In this research, both existing and novel methods of onset detection on a dataset of 200 violin onsets played in various styles are analyzed in this thesis. Then proposed is a method for creating more robust detection algorithms, specifically an onset detection algorithm suite that splits up the challenges of onset detection into smaller parts and solves them separately.
