Abstract

It is now feasible to store, process and present high-quality images of music scores on standard desktop and portable computing devices. Emerging digital rights management systems are making it realistic for users to legally obtain and share such documents etectronically, and much print music can now be obtained online. However, such systems are still usually predicated on performing the music from paper, and the cost of digitising legacy documents is high.

This seminar will explore ways to capture and enhance print music, and present the music on a computer display for live performace, rehearsal and practice. Issues that have been identified in research projects and early trials will be presented, and some solutions will be proposed.
