Abstract (EN)
We propose a new watermarking method that hides the
writer’s identity into symbolic musical scores featuring fingering annotations. These annotations constitute a valuable part of the symbolic representation, yet they can be
slightly modified without altering the quality of the musical information. The method applies a controlled distortion
of the existing fingerings so that unauthorized copies can
be identified. The proposed watermarking method is robust
against attacks like random fingering alterations and score
cropping, and its detection does not require the original
fingering, but only the suspect one. The method is general
and applies to various fingering contexts and instruments.
