Beyond MIDI: The Handbook of Musical Codes
The purpose of MuseData code is to represent the logical content of musical scores in a software-neutral fashion. The code is currently being used in the construction of full-text databases of music for several composers, including J. S. Bach, Beethoven, Corelli, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Telemann, and Vivaldi. It is intended that these full-text databases be used for music printing, music analysis, and production of electronic sound files.
Although MuseData code is intended to be generic, we have developed software of various kinds in order to test its effectiveness. MuseData programs print scores and parts which have been used by professional performing groups and music publishers. They compile Standard MIDI Files which may be used with standard sequencer software. They facilitate high-speed searches of the data for specific rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic patterns.
MuseData code is designed to represent both notational and sound information, but in both cases the representation is not intended to be fully complete. It is envisioned that MuseData files would serve as source files for generating page-specific graphics files and MIDI performance files, which might then be further edite
