<font size=+1><b>Music 253/CS 275a "Symbolic Musical Information"  <br> Stanford University (Winter 2017).</b></font>
 
 
This music-information course surveys symbolic frameworks and methods for a wide range
 
of musical applications.  Areas covered include advanced notation systems, optical music recognition, data
 
conversion and synchronization, and the internal structure of data files. The course is
 
preparatory for [[Music 254|Music 254/CS 275B]] (Using Musical Information: Music Query, Analysis, and Style Simulation), which focuses on projects requiring a working knowledge of notation and sound software.
