Evaluating Music Context Preservation: A Multi-facet Framework for Music Editing Systems

Summary

Music editing is vital in modern production, yet many systems overlook preserving musical facets that should remain unchanged. The authors define this as Music Context Preservation (MuseCP) and introduce MuseCPEval, the first evaluation framework covering four categories of music facets with fine-grained metrics. Objective validation and human studies confirm effectiveness, while case studies demonstrate utility as a testbed and diagnostic tool for diverse editing systems.
