We present a new multi-layered, conceptual model for associating musical source materials to musicological arguments. We describe our proposal for operationalizing these concepts through a framework for musical annotation which we have implemented using RDF. Briefly stated, this model shows how portions of digitized data in various files and…[Read more]

The “Metadata Editor and Repository for MEI Data” (MerMEId) is a web-based tool to capture and enrich data in the MEI header. This tool was originally developed by Axel Teich Geertinger and Sigfrid Lundberg at the “Danish Centre for Music Editing”, under an open-source license. This poster describes the transfer of this project to communi…[Read more]

In this panel, we consider the role of MEI in providing common structures and meanings for heterogeneous musical practices and notations and, to a lesser extent, uses. Drawing on direct experience of working with particular cultural or historical material, we consider the robustness of the fundamental modelling of MEI, and its challenges and…[Read more]

Summary of an invited panel discussion at the Music Encoding Conference 2022.

The musical performance of a score is a domain rarely addressed in a reasonable level of detail by current digital music editions. A main reason for this may be a lack of suitable data formats that are capable of encoding more than ambiguous performance symbols or rather technical measurement series. The Music Performance Markup format is a recent…[Read more]

Over the last few years, OMR has been developed and studied. New perspectives have been provided that include handwritten music. Nonetheless, most of the research produced focuses on neumatic, mensural and cultured music. Barely any examples of non-canonical and modern music can be found. This paper is a statement of intention of a larger research…[Read more]

mei-friend is a ‘last mile’ editor for MEI-encodings intended to alleviate the common task of cleaning up encodings generated via optical music recognition, or via conversion from other formats. The open-source tool, building on the earlier mei-tools-atom codebase, was first presented to the MEI community at MEC ‘21, and has received more than…[Read more]

Encoding of western music notation is being standardized as a result of the dedicated work of the MEI and MusicXML communities. However, there is no machine-readable format for encoding traditional Japanese musical notation. This short paper discusses the use of MEI to encode traditional Japanese musical notation.

La question du libre arbitre – Stephen Cave souligne que la recherche sur le « libre arbitre » et ses implications ne sont pas nouvelles. Ce qui est nouveau, cependant, c’est la propagation du scepticisme du libre arbitre au-delà des laboratoires et dans le grand public.

Les recherches menées par Kathleen Vohs et Jonathan Schooler ont montr…[Read more]

Tulad ng naobserbahan ng mga may-akda ng artikulong “Beyond the Group Mind: A Quantitative Review of the Interindividual–Intergroup Discontinuity Effect” na inilathala sa Psychological Bulletin, Tinatayang sa huling dekada pa lamang ng ikadalawampu siglo, ang mga nakamamatay na digmaan ng mga lugar tulad ng Rwanda, Bosnia, at Ethiopia ay kumitil n…[Read more]

Pourquoi un sophisme est-il important ? Bouddha dit que « nous devenons ce que nous pensons ». Hier, je parlais à un diplômé philippin (je séjourne actuellement à Gneral Santos, aux Philippines). J’ai évoqué le principal argument martérialiste tel qu’expliqué par MIller et Thompson dans un article publié sur le site Web du NIH – Pubmed – qui affir…[Read more]

As the prominent social psychologists, Baumeister and Leary, point out, “Groups can share food, provide mates, and help care for offspring (including orphans). Some survival tasks such as hunting large animals or maintaining defensive vigilance against predatory enemies, are best accomplished by group cooperation…. Competition for limited res…[Read more]

La théorie du chaos n’est pas aussi complexe qu’on le prétend souvent Comme l’observe Robert Juliano, le principe sous-jacent est que “dans le caractère aléatoire apparent des systèmes complexes chaotiques, il existe des modèles sous-jacents, des interconnexions, des boucles de rétroaction constantes, la répétition, l’auto-similarité , fractales…[Read more]

Chaos theory is not as complex as it si often made out to be As Robert Juliano observes, the underlying principle is that “within the apparent randomness of chaotic complex systems, there are underlying patterns, interconnectedness, constant feedback loops, repetition, self-similarity, fractals, and self-organization.”

“Chaos has been for…[Read more]

As the authors of the article “Beyond the Group Mind: A Quantitative Review of the Interindividual–Intergroup Discontinuity Effect” which was published in Psychological Bulletin, observed, It is estimated that just in the final decade of the twentieth century, the deadly wars of places like Rwanda, Bosnia, and Ethiopia claimed the lives of 30 m…[Read more]

Extreme Individualism & Dawkins Fallacy Dawkins argues that “gene selfishness will usually give rise to selfishness in individual behaviour” – That is an excellent illustration in academia of what David Hay referred to as “Extreme Individualism” – a problem in Western Academia which Virgilio Enriquez also brought to light.
