I'm not sure whether the Digest accepts advertising but here goes.....
Readers may remember an announcement back in May that the Computers in
Teaching Initiative Centre for Music had been established at Lancaster
University.
The CTICM will be publishing a twice yearly journal entitled "Musicus" and the
first issue is now available. Full time academics in music departments of
universities in the UK should already have received their copies of Musicus.
Under the terms of our grant we have to charge a subscription to other
interested persons. Subscription cost 10 pounds sterling for one year (2

Subject: Models of musical knowledge?
To: hp4nl!music-research@uk.ac.oxford.prg
Dear Readers,
In books and publication one often reads about models or computer
implementations of musical knowledge on certain domains. Some use AI
techniques, in which knowledge bases are the heart of a system and some use
conventional programming techniques.
In my research I would like to realize computer support for composers that
goes beyond score editing. In this I am looking for as many models or
implementations of musical knowledge as possible. One can think of simple
(as: the definition of a chord in tonal music etc.) or more complex theory (as
the way to perform a certain analysis or the rules of counterpoint).
I ask every one who knows or has such implementations, models or other
forms of musical knowledge to mail me and describe it. Eventually I will
summarize and hopefully be able to function as distributor.
Thanks in advance,
