This short paper describes our three submissions to the 2015 edition of the MIREX Symbolic Melodic Similarity task. They all rely on a geometric model that represents melodies as spline curves in the pitch-time plane. The similarity between two melodies is then computed with a sequence alignment algorithm between sequences of spline spans: the more similar the shape of the curves, the more similar the melodies they represent. All submissions are the same we submitted last year, so they can serve ...
