Music 253/CS 275a "Symbolic Musical Information"
Stanford University (Winter 2013).
This is an old syllabus. Also see the most recent syllabus.
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/CS 275B (Music Query, Analysis, and Style Simulation), which focuses on projects requiring a working knowledge of notation and sound software.
