I’m working on a project using the MusicNet dataset, and I’ve encountered some difficulty understanding the timing information provided in the dataset. I’ve managed to decipher the instrument, note, but I’m struggling with interpreting the timing information. The dataset includes a snippet of a song, and I’ve attached an image showing this section .

Could someone please explain how the timing information in this dataset is structured, particularly in relation to the start and end beat columns? Additionally, any insights on how to interpret this timing information would be greatly appreciated. For reference, here’s the link to the MusicNet dataset on Kaggle: MusicNet Dataset(https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/imsparsh/musicnet-dataset). Thank you!

I tried to understand the timing information provided in the MusicNet dataset by examining the columns related to timing, such as start_time and end_time. However, I found it challenging to grasp the precise structure and meaning of this timing data. I expected to gain clarity on how the timing information is formatted and how it relates to the musical notes and beats within the dataset.
