If the problem that you are actually addresing is audio/speech signal segmentation and distinguishing between the speech and music, see this:  http://www.sersc.org/journals/IJSIP/vol5_no1/4.pdf I could be wrong on this, but, as per http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?tp=&arnumber=4579953&url=http%3A%2F%2Fieeexplore.ieee.org%2Fxpls%2Fabs_all.jsp%3Farnumber%3D4579953; Praat seems to be not so usefull for polyphonic music analysis, except if augmented with some additional pre-filtering for the purpose of segmentation.
