Errata

The Accuracy1 results reported in the ISMIR 2017 publication [2] have been erroneously computed with a 8% instead of 4% tolerance. This does in no way change the main message of the paper, that Accuracy1 can be improved through the proposed post-processing procedure.
Corrected results are shown below:

The accuracy results for [2] reported in the ISMIR 2018 publication [3], have been erroneously computed with a buggy version of the public estimator (v0.0.1). Please refer to [2] for correct results. Also, please use the latest version (v0.0.4 or later) when comparing your method with [2].
