Study Group “Digital Musicology”

Formed in 1987, members were recruited for the IMS Study Group by the initial chair-people, Walter B. Hewlett and Eleanor Selfridge-Field, both of the Center for Computer Assisted Research in the Humanities (CCARH) at Stanford University (USA). Originally concentrating on automatic processing of musical data, the focus area has widened to include the many different kinds of music-specific computing such as digitalization of musical heritage (both notation and musical audio), digital editing, advanced searching and access to online materials, computational modeling of music, automatic analysis, interactive environments for music research, and general issues of data-richness and technology adoption.
