"COPER on the Web" is a web-based performance rendering system
utilizing a corpus of expressive music performances.
This system generates expression of a given musical piece,
by applying expressions in the musical segment
extracted from the corpus by querying.
As for the query, the system uses "musical group boundary",
"pitch, duration and transition of the note" of a melody sequence.

The Corpus to be referred consists of a set of the cases(the real examples) of
human music performance, described with descriptors of
nominal(quantized) note information and musical deviation terms.
The deviation terms consist of whole tempo transition,
damper pedal on/off action with depth degree value,
and delicate temporal and dynamics control under the tactus.

In ICMPC10-Rencon entry,
we use a new consolidated corpus; the corpora prepared for
COPER (a prior system)  and "CrestMusePEDB"

CrestMusePEDB is a music performance expression database
consist of 35 pieces(about 10000 segments).
