"Score following is the realtime synchronization of a live musician playing a score with the score itself and decoding of expressive parameters of the musician on the fly. The interest of score following is usually twofold: (1) technically for realtime alignment of audio signals to symbolic music score, and (2) musically for interpreting electronic music scores conform to live performance."
