Uruguayan candombe drumming - beat and downbeat tracking data set

The audio is provided as .flac files and the annotations as .csv files. The values in the first column of the csv file are the time instants of the beats. The numbers on the second column indicate both the bar number and the beat number within the bar.

For instance, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 are the four beats of the first bar. Hence, each label ending with .1 indicates a downbeat. Another set of annotations are provided as .beats files in which the bar numbers are removed.
