Jingju Music Scores Collection

This is a collection of 92 jingju music scores gathered for the analysis of jingju singing in terms of its musical system. They were transcribed from the original printed sources listed below into a machine readable format, using MuseScore 2.1.0, and exporting them into MusicXML 1.0. Since the sources used the jianpu notation, scores were also transnotated to staff notation. The key, absent in the original scores, was set to E major for all scores.

The collection is available for research purposes. The scores_data.csv file contains metadata about each score, regarding work, role type, shengqiang, banshi, whether the accompaniment is given in full, and the MusicBrainz ID of the related recordings (if any) in the Beijing Opera corpus. The lines_data.csv file contains metadata about and annotations about each singing line in the collection, regarding role type, shengqiang, banshi, lyrics for the whole line and each of its sections, linguistic tones annotations, and starting and ending offsets for the whole line and each of its sections, 

Sources

Specific reference for each score can be found in the scores_data.csv file.
