Tony: a tool for melody transcription

h1. Tony Introduction

Tony is a program for computer-aided melody annotation. It has a graphical interface based on the  "SV libraries":/projects/sv and uses the "pYIN":/projects/pyin Vamp plugin to extract pitch track and notes from monophonic audio.

h2. Installation

We provide ready-to-use software builds for Windows and Mac OSX on the "Downloads page":/projects/tony/files. On Windows you can simply download and run the installer (.msi), and on OSX you download the disk image (.dmg), open it and drag "Tony" into your Applications folder.

For Linux users with ample compilation experience we also provide the source code, available on the "Downloads page":/projects/tony/files. See [[Compiling Tony|here]] for notes on how to compile from source.
