Subject: Music retrieval software
In the response to the query regarding music retrieval software, reference is
made to the pioneering work of Barry S. Brook, Jan Larue, and George Logemann
but I see no mention of Brook's Plaine and Easy system, one of the efforts to
standardize music input for computers. Another omission is the work of
Harry Lincoln at Binghamton to develop a system for not only inputting but
also
printing incipits, which he used for his monograph on Renaissance melodies.
Of course, all printed music today depends on computerized printing, so that
the input problem must have been solved in the commercial, if not the academic
field.
