This group is devoted to a discussion of topics related to music encoding, and is an extension of the Music Encoding Initiative channels on MEI-L and website, https://music-encoding.org/.
The Music Encoding Initiative (MEI) is a community-driven effort to define a system for encoding musical documents in a machine-readable structure. MEI brings together specialists from various music research communities, including technologists, librarians, historians, and theorists in a common effort to define best practices for representing a broad range of musical documents and structures.
The official MEI mailing list, MEI-L, is used to inform the community about upcoming events, discuss possible improvements for MEI, evaluate encoding strategies and models, and get support from the full community. The list is open to anyone for subscription, and everyone is welcome to join MEI-L by subscribing to: https://lists.uni-paderborn.de/mailman/listinfo/mei-l.
MEI has a Slack channel that is used for discussion, questions, announcements, and collaboration, https://music-encoding.slack.com. Visit this page for additional details: https://music-encoding.org/community/community-contacts.html.
MEI is hosted by the Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur, Mainz.
Update: Music Encoding Conference will be offered Virtually!

We will refund all registration fees that have been paid. We ask that registered participants, including students who were awarded bursaries, send an email to conference2020@music-encoding.org indicating whether they would like to:
- Receive a full reimbursement;
- Receive a credit towards next year’s MEC;
- Contribute your registration fee to a fund for student bursaries in succeeding years.
Due to the cancellation of the in-person conference, student bursaries will not be awarded this year. We are currently exploring the following formats for the virtual conference via Zoom and Slack:
- Keynote presentations;
- Short session with papers and posters presented as 3-minute lightning talks;
- Longer session for discussion of papers and posters via Slack channels;
- Spaces to facilitate community work (e.g. interest group meetings, spontaneous user groups);
- Moderated town hall;
- Workshops (tbd)
The Program Committee Chair will reach out to individuals with accepted papers, posters, and workshops to ask if they are interested in participating in a virtual conference and to identify next steps. As plans solidify for the virtual conference, we will share updates and instructions for joining the virtual conference on the Music Encoding Conference website and through other channels. Please stay tuned.
