h1. Library Edition

Sonic Visualiser is a program for viewing and exploring audio data for semantic music analysis and annotation. The Library edition (release 1.9) provides adaptations for the its use of Sonic Visualiser at the British Library and new features tailored for musicologists: musicologists' needs:

- All of the features of the full Sonic Visualiser are provided, except that audio files cannot be saved from it (Kiosk Edition).

- Two operating modes are available:
* minimal mode with an easy to use interface offering playback functionality exclusively (closed listening practice);
* full mode where visualisations (e.g. spectrograms) and audio feature extractions are possible (multimodal listening practice).

- Session templates can be used to load/store the layout of the user interface (waveform, spectrogram, note onsets, etc.) and user parameters.

- Pitch identification can be performed more easily by listening to the notes of the keyboard scale in the spectrum and melodic spectrogram representations.
