[comp.text.tex] Music Typesetting

schrod@iti.informatik.th-darmstadt.de (Joachim Schrod) (06/26/91)

As not all subscribers of c.t.t read the Comm. of the ACM, I want to
mention two references I've found which are directed to music
typesetting and are perhaps of interest:

@article{typo:blostein:music,
 author = {Dorothea Blostein},
 title = {Justification of Printed Music},
 journal = cacm,
 volume = 34,
 number = 3,
 month = mar,
 year = 1991,
 pages = {88-99},
 annote = {Presents problems and solutions of the task to create a
correct spacing while setting notes. The proposed method also takes
the temporal relationship of notes into account. Handles
two-dimensional layout, e.g., staffs and texts.}
}

@techreport{typo:hegazy:music,
 author = {W. Hegazy and J. Gourlay},
 title = {Optimal Line Breaking in Music},
 year = 1988,
 institution = {Department of Computer and Information Science, The
Ohio State University},
 type = {Tech.\ Report},
 number = {OSU-CISRC-8/87-TR33},
 annote = {Not read yet. Is quoted as ``many of these [music
typesetting] problems are addressed [\dots], using a generalization of
\TeX{}'s line-breaking model.''~\cite{typo:blostein:music} (In fact,
\TeX{} is spelled TEX.) {\it Perhaps J. Gourlay is John? Where does he
work now?}
}
