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?} } -- Joachim =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Joachim Schrod Email: xitijsch@ddathd21.bitnet Computer Science Department Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany
