At the centre of these fields, the Music Encoding Conference has emerged as an important cross-disciplinary venue for theorists, musicologists, librarians, and technologists to meet and discuss new advances in their fields.<\/span><\/p>\n
The Music Encoding Conference is the annual focal point for the Music Encoding Initiative community (<\/span>http:\/\/music-encoding.org<\/span><\/a>), but members from all encoding and analysis communities are welcome to participate.<\/span><\/p>\n
For the first time, the annual conference will have a theme: \u201cEncoding and Performance\u201d. We welcome in particular submissions that theorize the relationship between music encoding and performance practice, describe experiments (failed or successful) in creating digital dynamic scores, propose ways of using encoded music for pedagogical purposes related to performance, or imagine future interconnections. The conference will be held at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center, and therefore, we encourage presentations that include a performance component or demonstration.<\/span><\/p>\n
As always, other topics are welcome. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
- music encoding for performance research and practice<\/span><\/li>\n
- music encoding as a theoretical approach for research<\/span><\/li>\n
- methodologies for encoding, music editing, description and analysis<\/span><\/li>\n
- rendering of symbolic music data in audio and graphical forms<\/span><\/li>\n
- relationships between symbolic music data, encoded text, and facsimile images<\/span><\/li>\n
- capture, interchange, and re-purposing of music data and metadata<\/span><\/li>\n
- evaluation and control of quality of music data and metadata<\/span><\/li>\n
- ontologies, authority files, and linked data in music encoding and description<\/span><\/li>\n
- music encoding and symbolic music information retrieval<\/span><\/li>\n
- additional topics relevant to music encoding, editing, and description<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
