DESCRIPTION:Dr. Laurent Pugin\, Co-director of the Swiss RISM (Répertoire
  International des Sources Musicales) Office\nMost of the music that forms
  the heritage of Western culture has been preserved in a written form and 
 held in libraries and archives. The music notation systems used in written
  documents have been in constant evolution during the course of music hist
 ory\, according to the needs of composers who adapted it to their ideas. T
 his gives rise to fascinating challenges in the digital world at different
  levels\, many of which have been research fields for years: encoding musi
 c notation\, transcribing it by optical recognition\, not to mention rende
 ring\, analysing and searching it.\nThanks to technological progress and t
 he development of online capabilities\, we currently have unique opportuni
 ties to bring these research fields together in completely new ways. This 
 can be done on a large scale in conjunction with bibliographic and digitiz
 ation initiatives\, but also through highly specialized projects such as d
 igital critical editions.\nThis presentation will look at some of the pers
 pectives open to digital musicology\, in the light of leading projects tha
 t are addressing those challenges.Picture by Algont from nl [CC-BY-SA]
