Chris@103: Tony is a program for computer-aided melody annotation. It has a
Chris@103: graphical interface based on the Sonic Visualiser libraries, and uses
Chris@103: the pYIN Vamp plugin to extract pitch track and notes from monophonic
Chris@103: audio.

Chris@103: Warning

Chris@103: Note Editing
Chris@103: ============
Chris@103: 
Chris@103: A particular problem (see Warning, above) is the opaque editing
Chris@103: procedure. In order to edit notes, enter the multi-tool mode by
Chris@103: selecting the move button in the toolbar. There are four ways in which
Chris@103: you can change a note:
Chris@103: 
Chris@103:  1. by clicking on the upper half of a note and dragging you can move
Chris@103:     the note
Chris@103:  2. by clicking on the beginning or end of a note and dragging you can
Chris@103:     change the onset or offset time
Chris@103:  3. by clicking into the bottom part of a note you can split the note
Chris@103:     (this will recalculate the pitch of the resulting new notes)
Chris@103:  4. by shift-clicking into the bottom part of a note you can delete
Chris@103:     the note
Chris@103: 
Chris@103: By double-clicking into an empty part of the timeline you can create a
Chris@103: new note.
