Sometime in the mid-80's there was a research project at IRCAM
where they made spectral measurements on every note of every
instrument in the orchestra. I have never heard of any paper
documenting this activity, but I'd think that IRCAM would've
issued some kind of technical report. Does anybody know of
such a paper?
In general it would be nice if IRCAM's reports were more
available in the USA. Even a list of what reports have been
written would be nice!
Thanks for any help,
Greg Sandell

Subject: need advice on choosing a typewritten notation
To: music-research@prg
Message-ID: <RICH.90Jul5160849@uncle-bens.Rice.edu>
I am looking for an method of notating single voice music (lead
sheets) using a computer keyboard as the method of entry. I know
enough about music theory and programming, but nothing about desktop
music publishing. Any references to well-known works on this topic
would be greatly appreeciated.
My object is to write a program which translates from this easy to
type notation into the internal format of MuTeX. MuTeX is a free set
of TeX language programs and fonts for typesetting single-staff music
with one or two voices.
MuTeX is availabe via anonymous ftp from:
cs.ubc.ca 128.189.97.5 in /pub/src/MuTeX
or stolaf.edu 130.71.128.1 in /pub"
Thanks!

I need a copy of the official MIDI standard, but the IMA seems to have moved
from the address that I do have. Would someone mail me a copy of their current
address and phone number? Thanks.

PAN is a commercial BBoard service for the music industry. It is a
good place to communicate with music companies, musicians, and
lots of MIDI programmers from all over the world. They have been
trying to get more music research people on PAN but haven't had much
success. The international representation on PAN is pretty amazing,
with people dialing in from Austraila, France, Germany, England, etc.
There is also an extensive tour support service, which many touring
bands use to stay in touch with themselves and the home office.
It is NOT the "Performing Arts Network", according to its founder,
Perry Leopold. Just call it PAN. You may not have heard of it,
but they've heard of you! (I've been uploading comp.music onto
PAN for several months.)
It can be reached through Tymnet and Telenet just like compuserve, and
costs about the same: $24/hour 8AM-6PM, $12/hour 6PM-8AM. (There is a
one time sign up fee of $150 in most cases, which is waived under some
cases. I know that Opcode gives away a fee waiver with purchase of
their products.) For more information call (215) 584-0300, or write PAN
at P.O. Box 162, Skippack, PA 19474.
Disclaimer: I worked for Perry writing an automated Hypercard
front end for PAN. It acts as a remote control
information agent so that you spend no time online using
arcane editors and commands, and all of your time
downloading, reading, and replying to messages through
effecient hypercard stacks. Perry also has a version for
PC's which is functionally identical, but uses a text
interface. (It works pretty good too, which is something
coming from a Mac-a-holic) Of course, if you *want* to
read the entire 50 page manual and fill your brain with
the details of how to use their one-of-a-kind editor and
message system, go right ahead.
