    The BeatTracker program detects all beats in an audio file according to the
    method described in (while following tempo changes):

    "Enhanced Beat Tracking with Context-Aware Neural Networks"
    Sebastian Böck and Markus Schedl.
    Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Digital Audio Effects
    (DAFx), 2011.

    Instead of using the originally proposed auto-correlation method to build
    a tempo histogram, a new method based on comb filters is used:

    "Accurate Tempo Estimation based on Recurrent Neural Networks and
     Resonating Comb Filters"
    Sebastian Böck, Florian Krebs and Gerhard Widmer.
    Proceedings of the 16th International Society for Music Information
    Retrieval Conference (ISMIR), 2015.

    This program can be run in 'single' file mode to process a single audio
    file and write the detected beats to STDOUT or the given output file.

      $ BeatTracker single INFILE [-o OUTFILE]

    If multiple audio files should be processed, the program can also be run
    in 'batch' mode to save the detected beats to files with the given suffix.

      $ BeatTracker batch [-o OUTPUT_DIR] [-s OUTPUT_SUFFIX] FILES

    If no output directory is given, the program writes the files with the
    detected beats to the same location as the audio files.

    The 'pickle' mode can be used to store the used parameters to be able to
    exactly reproduce experiments.
