In an old edition of the Directory of Musicology we have seen that work is being done in the field of music-encoding and that data-bases of music have been built. We would like to apply the text matching, similarity, etc algorithms to music. Possible applications might be: - finding the longest repetition of a certain sequence - finding exact and similar matches among different pieces of music - other ? We are now looking for databases containing music in a character notation (i.e. Plaine & Easie Code, Boeker-Heil Code, SMDL-Code, ESAC or similar ones) which are available to the scientific community. The bigger the databases are the more interesting it gets. What textbooks on musicology do you recommend ? Does there exist a mailing-list ? thanks for your help -- Rolf Eberhardt PS: Please answer by e-mail as our news-system isn't working to well at the moment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rolf Eberhardt, Inst. fuer wiss.
