The Evolution of the SSSP Score Editing Tools

This paper traces the evolution of score editing tools developed by the Structured Sound Synthesis Project (SSSP) at the University of Toronto. The focus is on the use of interactive computer graphics to assist a composer in the editing of a file of information detailing a musical score. In this context we examine some of the issues involved in designing user interfaces involving interactive graphics systems. An outline of an overall design strategy is presented which has been used successfully in SSSP hardware and software design.
