ABSTRACT:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for music-based searching. Embodiments of the invention receiving music queries that specify music elements, the queries using textual, audio, and/or score data. The music queries may be used to generate search parameters based on the specified music elements, which may in some cases be weighted. The search parameters may then be directing against a database comprising data records, each data record being associated with a music piece and a set of music elements relating to the music piece. Matching data records in the database may then be identified based on music elements common between the search parameters and the associated music piece. Search output may then be ranked, displayed, and output in various ways.
