“…In real music acquisition systems various overlaps occur, as when an organ keyboard is used in conjunction with a graphics tablet (Wittlich 1978a). This overlap suggests an alternative categorization which involves dividing up the information encoded in a page of printed music into three basic types and associating each with an input device.…”

“…The graphics tablet has been separated here from other 'pointing' systems because, where pitch is concerned, it has a unique advantage, i.e., the actual printed score (assuming one exists) can be placed on the tablet (a page at a time) and the noteheads picked out with the pen or stylus, a method successfully used by Wittlich et al (1977Wittlich et al ( , 1978a. Hence, this is the only 'pointing' system which uses the score directly.…”

“…For a nonmusician, a 100-notes-perminute, 90% accurate system for entering pitch values (letter names only) might form a valuable part of a practical set-up. Wittlich et al (1978a) cite user-friendliness and speed as the most favorable features of this sort of system.…”

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, purposebuilt 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.

Information for the National Tune Index data bank was gathered from a bibliographically complex body of material, including both printed and manuscript sources and representing ever3, genre of popular secular music in eighteenth-century England and America, as well as every level of humanistic expression, from stylized theatrical statements to simple entries in colonial commonplace books. The disparate categories of information to be gathered and manipulated included names of people, names of songs, verse incipits, tune incipits and other musical information, song titles and refrains, and bibliographic information (see fig. 1).The design for the input code and related programs to demonstrate the unity in all this diversity, was based on three guiding principles:(1) simplicity, to foster maximum understanding and participation in technical decisions by non-technical project staff;(2) flexibility, to permit continuing modifications and improvements as the project progressed; (3) efficiency, to stretch available funds. Since nearly every category of information to be gathered yielded variable-length data, and since not all categories were expected to be present in every source, a free-format code was clearly indicated as the most appropriate to represent such data, and the most efficient for processing its various components into a series of cross-referenced indexes. SNOBOL was selected as the most appropriate language for the free data format and for the types of data manipulations anticipated. ~ SNOBOL's one disadvantage, its slow operation, was overcome by the use of the SPITBOL compiler, which was approximately ten times faster.
