Suppose you have multiple waveform snippets (mostly 1-2 seconds long each), and they all "somehow" fit together (i.e., are the respective beginning/end of each) => complement each other.

However, it is not clear in what order.

Is there some class of software tools that can "match" the wave forms that fit best to each other and reassemble the snippets to make the most coherent sense ?

Metaphor: Waveforms as "puzzle" pieces. Software to piece the most fitting ones together, repeat 'til a most-complete puzzle is finished (need not be 100%, just 'as good as possible')

TL;DR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_stitching just for music snippets

As (expertly) put by Bob:

However, I suppose you could have software that will analyse the smoothest ordering of such snippets, where the volumes and frequencies of adjacent beginnings and endings matched most closely - this would be quite interesting to look into.

THIS. is pretty much what I'm after, a class of software that does exactly this. :)

TL;DR: Image stitching but then for music snippets.

So, let's suppose you have multiple waveform snippets (mostly 1-2 seconds long each), and they all "somehow" fit together (i.e. are the respective beginning/end of each) => complement each other.

Does a Tool exist to "match" the wave forms that fit best to each other and reassemble the snippets to make the most coherent sense ?

#I'm well aware that this is a super-niche use-case, but perhaps some bored sould on github has some time and motivation at their hands, just waiting to make some cool tool ?

Example: [ 0=silence #=wavesnippet](lenght is not even for all snippets)

Song a: #0#0#0#0#0#0#0#

Songb.: 0#0#0#0#0#0#0#0
