It would be nice to have a discussion on potential new MIREX tasks: singing voice segments detection, music structure detection

Also a discussion about the possibility to have a new test set for audio chord detection

Possible changes in QBSH task to make it more real-world compliant (by Roger Jang):

1. More noise MIDIs to make the song database size > 10000 ===> Does IMIRSEL has enough computing power?
2. Corpous contribution from participants ===> Format? Tools? Guideline for corpus preparation?
3. Evaluation criteria that takes care of multiple versions of ground truths (to avoid human selection of noise MIDIs) ===> Top-10 recognition rate?
4. Release all corpora after each MIREX
5. Timing constraint for each submission ===> 10 seconds for each query?
6. Heterogeneous song database ===> MIDI, WAV
