This has bothered me for a while. Thanks for this fix! Can you please make it so that the new bit is not on by default? |
A lyric identifier ('verse', 'part1verse1', etc) names a verse inside the
encoding and prints nothing in the score, so an OMR engine has nothing in
the image to guess it from, and two encodings of the same music routinely
name their verses differently.
Give it its own bit, next to Style, Metadata and Voicing: outside of every
combination, so AllObjects (the default) no longer counts a differing verse
name as an error, and lyrics are compared on their syllables and verse
numbers alone. Ask for it by hand ('-i allobjects lyricidentifiers') to
compare the names too.

What
Gives the lyric
identifierattribute its ownDetailLevelbit,LyricIdentifiers, the wayBeamshas one apart fromNotesAndRests.AnnLyricnow recordslyric._identifieronly when that bit is set.The bit is part of
OtherObjects, soAllObjectsand the default detail level still compare identifiers exactly as before. What changes is that a caller asking for a narrower set no longer gets identifier-only differences it never asked for.Why
We compare OMR output against ground truth. The recognizer has no way to guess a
<lyric id="...">value: it is a MusicXML bookkeeping attribute with no musical content, and it reads a page of printed music. So every predicted syllable carries an empty identifier while the ground truth carriesverseorpart1verse1.Excluding lyrics wholesale is not an option, the syllables themselves are what we want to measure.
