I am interested in the use of Computers in the Music Publishing Industry.
Although I am primarily interested in classical music using the Common
Musical Notation or European Notation, I am not restricting myself to either
of these bounds.
My ideas are mainly concerned around using computers to aid publishing
techniques (such as producing parts from a score etc.) rather than on
computer generated music.
I would gratefully receive either direct information about this or some kind
of point in the direction where I could find more out about this.

I have a copy, IN FRENCH, of this paper from scientific american.
Are you interested ?
Another way may be fruitful : Find at the library of the University
1) Journal of American Acoustical Society ( I am not sure of the title, may be
re-order..)
2) ACUSTICA ( this title is correct) containing a lot of papers in English and
German about The acoustics of musical instruments.
Good Luck
Paul

Just recently I was searching for the same type of material. I was
actually trying to find some information on cello timbre. Here are the
list of some the articles and books I have found on the subject:
Acoustical Measurement of Violins Carleen M. Hutchins and
Francis L. Fielding
Physics Today, July 1968
Subharmonics and Plate Tap Tones in Carleen Hutchins, Alvin S. Hopping
Violin Acoustics and Fredrick Saunders
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, November 1960
Electronic simulation of violin M. V. Mathews and J. Kohut
resonances
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
1973, Volume 53, Number 6, Page 1620
The physics of the Violin Lothar Cremer
translated by John S. Allen
The MIT Press.
Hope this helps, I would appreciate receiving any other info
that you may have,

The Mills College Music Department is seeking applicants and nominations for
The Luther B. Marchant Chair in Music
and
Head of the Department
The Department is especially interested in applicants who combine scholarly
work and performance, although other areas of expertise will be actively
considered. Applicants should have a doctorate or equivalent experience
with extensive expertise in undergraduate education and a strong commitment
to the liberal arts. Appointment will be made at the Associate Professor
or Professor level. Send resume and three letters of recommendation by
January 10, 1991 to Search Committee, Music Department, Mills College, 5000
MacArthur Boulevard, Oakland, CA 94613.
Mills is a liberal arts college for women at the undergraduate level and
for both women and men at the graduate level. The college is set in a
127-acre wooded campus with the surrounding San Francisco Bay Area offering
a stimulating, cosmopolitan environment.
The Mills Music Department offers a broad spectrum of courses for
undergraduates, leading to the B. A. degree with a major in music. It also
offers three graduate degrees: an M. A. in Composition, an M. F. A. in
Electronic Music and Recording Media, and an M. F. A. in Performance and
Literature. Our annual concert series features guest artists along with
Mills performers, composers, and groups such as Mill's Contemporary
Performance Ensemble, Gamelan, Early and Baroque Music Ensembles, and
resident chamber groups. The presence of the Center for Contemporary Music
as a significant force in the Bay Area experimental music and allied arts
community helps create a vital and active setting for contemporary music.

AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE
1991 Call For Presentations
MULTIMEDIA INFORMATION SYSTEMS
ASIS 1991 Mid-Year Meeting
APRIL 26-29, 1991
Santa Clara, California
The 20th ASIS Mid-Year Meeting will focus on one of the most
important new areas in information systems: Multimedia. Traditional
concerns with text and numerical data are being supplemented and may
ultimately be supplanted by increasing attention to the documentation
of objects, sounds, images, and moving images. Digitized sounds and
still, moving and 3-D images are being stored, indexed, retrieved, and
manipulated. Combinations of text with images and sounds are becoming
more common. These new developments promise to change the way we think
about information.
How are multimedia developments going to be used to provide
improved information services? What relevant experiences from art
collections, museums, engineering files, and photo, film and sound
archives can be used for digitized records? What new opportunities
and challenges will digitized forms of sounds and images bring?
Building better information services will require that we
effectively use images and sound in combination with test and numerical
data. To achieve these advancements we must make significant progress
in computing, data storage, and telecommunications. The 1991 ASIS
Mid-Year Meeting will present cutting-edge research and development in
the information sciences which build upon our experience with text and
data by adding access to sound and images. It will also explore current
and potential applications of this research.
DUE DATES & WHERE TO SEND YOUR SUBMISSION:
Please submit your proposed contributions by November 30, 1990.
Proposals may be sent via U.S. mail, electronic mail, or fax.
You will be notified by January 2, 1991 of acceptance or rejection.
At that time further information will be provided to those whose
proposals have been accepted.

Message-ID: <14901.9011131337@oberon.cs.hw.ac.uk>
I am looking for any information regarding the use of the 'Audio' commands
on a Sun workstation. I know how to play sampled music and I know how to
record the samples. However, I am not really interested in sampling and
prefer to code in the music directly.
Ideally, I would like some way to input pitch and duration thus enabling
a piece of music to be played back. However, I have no idea as to the form
that the music should be in.
Any hints or help gratefully received.
Graeme
