  Optimal state duration assignment in hidden Markov model-based text-to-speech synthesis system

  An algorithm for state duration assignment is derived so as to maximise the probability of the state sequence while satisfying all the constraints.

  Singing Voice Synthesis Using HMM Based TTS and MusicXML

  Describes an SVS system which uses a MusicXML based music score editor for entry of the notes and lyrics to be synthesized and an HMM-based text-to-speech synthesis system as the back-end synthesizer.
• 

  HMM Based Duration Control for Singing TTS

  A duration control model based on the syllabic analysis of the lyrics is applied to adapt speech-trained duration models to singing duration models

  Development of a Music Score Editor based on MusicXML

  This paper presents a brief description of the structure of the MusicXML format and describes the development of a music score editor based on MusicXML.
