Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This interdisciplinary course introduces participants to key questions, methods, and techniques in the field of digital editions, with a focus on music composed before 1600. While Common Music Notation serves as a starting point, the course emphasizes:
1. Familiarity with standard formats for scholarly text and music encoding (e.g., TEI, MEI) and Optical Music Recognition (OMR).
2. The transition from analog texts and notated music to digital objects, including the use of notation software, the Oxygen XML editor, and the MEI editor "mei-friend."
3. Applications of MEI technologies to non-standard notations (e.g., tablatures) and notations bevor 1600 (e.g., neumes, mensural notation).
4. The exploration of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) technologies.
The course also addresses the challenges of communication and organization in digital research contexts. Participants will work on small group projects, allowing them to deepen their historical and technical expertise through practical implementation. The outcomes of these projects will be presented in a workshop at the end of the course.
The course is conducted in collaboration with Dr. David M. Weigl from the Department of Music Acoustics – Wiener Klangstil (IWK) at the mdw - University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna. Students are encouraged to attend additional sessions offered by Dr. Weigl at the IWK.
