Musical Expertise and Melodic Structure in Memory for Musical Notation

Graphic to Symbolic Representations of Musical Notation

This paper discusses the SCORE data format, a graphically oriented music representation developed in the early 1970’s, and how such a representation can be converted into sequential descriptions of music notation. The graphical representation system for the SCORE editor is presented along with case studies for parsing and converting the data into other symbolic music formats such as Dox, Humdru...

The musical language Elements of Persian musical language: modes, rhythm and syntax

In treating the subject of musical language, a Persian musician would be intrinsically drawn to the structural similarities between the Persian music and language. Indeed Persian music and language are extremely related in their metrics, intonations and structural phrases (syntax).

From MIDI to Traditional Musical Notation

In this paper a system that is designed to extract the musical score from a MIDI performance is described. The proposed system comprises of a number of modules that perform the following tasks: identification of elementary musical objects, calculation of accent (salience) of musical events, beat induction, beat tracking, onset quantisation, streaming, duration quantisation and pitch spelling. T...

Musical notation for multi-touch interfaces

This paper explores the creation and testing of a new system for notating physical touch actions on a surface. This notation is conceptualized through and initially tested on multi-touch interfaces. A brief examination of movement notation concepts is followed by an overview of design challenges considered. The notation symbols and formats are detailed. A testing procedure was carried out in or...
