Of the dozens of papers referenced by that, this one caught my eye:

"Fundamental frequency estimation of musical signals using a
  two-way mismatch procedure"

https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/c94b/56f21f32b3b7a9575ced317e3de9b2ad9081.pdf

IIUC this may be more in line with how this real product works.


I'm having a bit of a tough time with SC. Never used it before.
First the packages in SUSE were broken, so I built from source.
Now I can run the SC IDE and so on without errors. OK.
Next, I had to really hack the PolyPitch cmake file to
  get it to install. OK.

But now what? I can't seem to run any examples. Some complain of
  unexpected/unrecognized words, some complain of asking for
  Mac Cocoa. Seems some stuff was built on Mac, like PolyPitch.

Any quick tips appreciated before I might pester the SC crowd.

Thanks.
Tim.
