ABSTRACT:
A computerized automated method for determining fingering of musical instruments from digitized scored music or tablature. The computerized automated finger finder method determines fingering such that hand movement is minimized on a specified instrument for maximum performance from analysis of the music score or tablature. The method also provides alternate fingering choices when the musician desires a different tonal stylization or finds an alternate fingering easier to play for their skill level.
