The acquisition, representation and reconstruction of printed music by computer: A review

Material published on the subject of Acquisition, Representation and Reconstruction of printed music by computer is reviewed.The paper is divided into three sections. 1. Acquisition covers music data entry by automatic pattern recognition, directly-connected keyboard, soundtrack analysis, purpose-built hardware and other, compromise, methods. 2. Representation deals with Music Representational Languages (with particular reference to DARMS, MUSTRAN and ALMA), their background, structure, software support, and associated problems concerning score reconstruction. 3. Reconstruction discusses briefly the hardware available for computerized printing of sheet music.An Appendix is included which lists a representative selection of the most significant computer systems for printing music. The Bibliography contains nearly 200 references from diverse publications.
