Contrary to digital audio's absolute lack of musical feature extraction, the musical score may be of more relevance, as it is made up of musical feature extraction. Modern staff notation was so created for the duty of collecting all the information required to reconstruct the musical ideas in a piece, and no doubt, all it carries now is condensated wisdom as it underwent the numerous rounds of iteration in the history.

Note that music is a prototype of nonlinear art to which emergence applies. To clarify, notions such as linearity and emergence are largely alien to the flow of music, so the saying is a gaze on music from logos. But it is necessary. On the positive side, at least it explains why artificial intelligence engineers ~~has~~ always been interested in training their little bots through none else than deep neural networks.

Of course, the score extracts musical features in a way that is mostly linear. Nonlinear features are also found in scores, but they are not central. Rhythm is a strictly linear feature, unfolding along the horizontal axis. Pitch is also a strictly linear feature, unfolding along the vertical axis for each part. Note that using the nominal–accidental chain in place of a plain piano-roll-style pitch space is not nonlinearity – it is called ''rank-2'', which is still linear. Both types of quantities are perfectly accurate as they are recorded in their native grid instead of the foreign-to-score digital grid.
