The Radif is a collection of ancient melodic figures passed down orally through generations, forming the foundation of traditional Persian music. Organized into different tonal spaces known as dastgāh, it contains approximately 250 excerpts.
Despite its importance, the Radif has not been fully digitized. I began annotating the Radif from written sheets using OMR software (PhotoScore) and manually correcting errors. The project is ongoing, and upon completion, I will produce a detailed data report documenting the corpus.
