Re: request for info about computer research on Indian classical music.
There have been a number of research projects on north Indian classical
music initiated by the International Society for Traditional Arts Research,
which was founded in New Delhi in 1982 (with generous help of the Ford
Foundation and the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Bombay).
I was a founder member and the editor of "ISTAR Newsletter" (now out of
print) in which a number of early research papers were published.
The main two projects (still active) have been melodic transcription/analysis
of ragas and the analysis of improvisatory techniques in tabla drumming.
I built a real-time accurate melograph for the first project (now obsolete
because of new software devices) which is now being continued by Wim van der
Meer (ISTAR Nederland / Utrecht University). Wim was a musicologist and a
specialist of Indian music. Now he knows more than me about computers...
The second project is directed by anthropologist Jim Kippen, a specialist of
tabla, currently teaching at the University of Toronto (kippenj at utorepas.
bitnet). There have been many publications on this project, e.g. "Computers
& Humanities" 23, 3, 1990. Also chapters in two forthcoming books...

Does Copyist DTP allow for Postscript text and user defined
symbols? Are the screen fonts Postscript versions?
Thanks
cheers!

I look for a music publishing software which runs on a SUN4 (unix,
Xwindows). I saw many programs of this type on MAC (like FINALE CODA)
but never on sun. Could you, please, tell me, if such a program
exists, and how I could get it (ftp, buying,...)
I should like that the printing quality will be high (the best as
possible) with all the possible music notations ...
Voila, merci beaucoup (thanks a lot)
