This group is devoted to a discussion of topics related to music encoding, and is an extension of the Music Encoding Initiative channels on MEI-L and website, https://music-encoding.org/.
The Music Encoding Initiative (MEI) is a community-driven effort to define a system for encoding musical documents in a machine-readable structure. MEI brings together specialists from various music research communities, including technologists, librarians, historians, and theorists in a common effort to define best practices for representing a broad range of musical documents and structures.
The official MEI mailing list, MEI-L, is used to inform the community about upcoming events, discuss possible improvements for MEI, evaluate encoding strategies and models, and get support from the full community. The list is open to anyone for subscription, and everyone is welcome to join MEI-L by subscribing to: https://lists.uni-paderborn.de/mailman/listinfo/mei-l.
MEI has a Slack channel that is used for discussion, questions, announcements, and collaboration, https://music-encoding.slack.com. Visit this page for additional details: https://music-encoding.org/community/community-contacts.html.
MEI is hosted by the Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur, Mainz.

David M. Weigl deposited A Notation-Free Approach to Encoding Commatic Drifts in Just Intonation in the group
Music Encoding Initiative on Humanities Commons 3 months agoMusics in just intonation pose a wide number of challenges to encoding but perhaps none more imposing than their potential to freely drift through rational pitch space by minute intervals. Though such commatic drifts—whether Pythagorean, syntonic, septimal, or otherwise—are all too often framed as ‘problems’ inherent to rational tuning systems…[Read more]

David M. Weigl deposited Joseph Haydn Werke Metadata: MEI Way in the group
Music Encoding Initiative on Humanities Commons 3 months agoThe work of the Joseph Haydn Institute has been well-known in eighteenth-century studies and beyond since publishing the first four volumes of the Joseph Haydn Werke in 1958. As with any Gesamtausgabe undertaking, sources occupy a central role, and with them come massive amounts of data. Naturally, compilation and organization of the metadata…[Read more]

David M. Weigl deposited Encoding and Analyzing the Timbre in Popular Songs (TiPS) Corpus in the group
Music Encoding Initiative on Humanities Commons 3 months agoTimbre and texture are important and perceptually salient stylistic and structural parameters in popular music, yet their specific functional roles in this repertoire have not been theorized. This report describes the construction and encoding of a new popular-music corpus, Timbre in Popular Song (TiPS). The corpus comprises 400 songs, including…[Read more]

David M. Weigl deposited A New Conceptual Model for Musical Sources and Musicological Studies in the group
Music Encoding Initiative on Humanities Commons 3 months agoWe present a new multi-layered, conceptual model for associating musical source materials to musicological arguments. We describe our proposal for operationalizing these concepts through a framework for musical annotation which we have implemented using RDF. Briefly stated, this model shows how portions of digitized data in various files and…[Read more]

David M. Weigl deposited Towards MerMEId 2.0 in the group
Music Encoding Initiative on Humanities Commons 3 months agoThe “Metadata Editor and Repository for MEI Data” (MerMEId) is a web-based tool to capture and enrich data in the MEI header. This tool was originally developed by Axel Teich Geertinger and Sigfrid Lundberg at the “Danish Centre for Music Editing”, under an open-source license. This poster describes the transfer of this project to communi…[Read more]

David M. Weigl deposited Sharing MEI: common semantics in diverse musics? in the group
Music Encoding Initiative on Humanities Commons 3 months agoIn this panel, we consider the role of MEI in providing common structures and meanings for heterogeneous musical practices and notations and, to a lesser extent, uses. Drawing on direct experience of working with particular cultural or historical material, we consider the robustness of the fundamental modelling of MEI, and its challenges and…[Read more]

David M. Weigl deposited Encoding Musical Performances in the group
Music Encoding Initiative on Humanities Commons 3 months agoThe musical performance of a score is a domain rarely addressed in a reasonable level of detail by current digital music editions. A main reason for this may be a lack of suitable data formats that are capable of encoding more than ambiguous performance symbols or rather technical measurement series. The Music Performance Markup format is a recent…[Read more]

David M. Weigl deposited Jazz Standards: From the Manuscript to Multiple Possibilities through Computation in the group
Music Encoding Initiative on Humanities Commons 3 months agoOver the last few years, OMR has been developed and studied. New perspectives have been provided that include handwritten music. Nonetheless, most of the research produced focuses on neumatic, mensural and cultured music. Barely any examples of non-canonical and modern music can be found. This paper is a statement of intention of a larger research…[Read more]

David M. Weigl deposited The mei-friend Web Application: Editing MEI in the Browser in the group
Music Encoding Initiative on Humanities Commons 3 months agomei-friend is a ‘last mile’ editor for MEI-encodings intended to alleviate the common task of cleaning up encodings generated via optical music recognition, or via conversion from other formats. The open-source tool, building on the earlier mei-tools-atom codebase, was first presented to the MEI community at MEC ‘21, and has received more than…[Read more]

David M. Weigl deposited Proposal to Adopt MEI for Encoding Traditional Japanese Music Scores in the group
Music Encoding Initiative on Humanities Commons 3 months agoEncoding of western music notation is being standardized as a result of the dedicated work of the MEI and MusicXML communities. However, there is no machine-readable format for encoding traditional Japanese musical notation. This short paper discusses the use of MEI to encode traditional Japanese musical notation.
