Dear Sir,
I graduated in musicology at Geneva university and I begin a doctoral
dissertation with Professor Etienne Darbellay.
My project is to write a computer program which analyses the differences
between human performance and theoretical version of rhythmic patterns.
I would be grateful to you if you may help me by sending me a list of
writings about analysis of rhythmic performance.
I remain yours respectfully

Some lines of the above mentioned message were truncated in the last
MRD issue, but I would like to let everyone know that we have some
experience in translating into MuTeX and do also want to write a
Midi-Standard-file translation in the second half of this year. If
someone else is faster, he should let us know!

Can anyone recommend a software package for the MAC which can be
used for writing and printing out 4 part (SATB) choral music?
A lot of this will be chant form, so I need a program which does
not necessarily lock you into a fixed number of beats per
measure. Also, I will need to insert foreign text. Any
suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
