Editorial Credits

The series Computing in Musicology benefitted greatly from the contributions of in-house staff members Don Anthony, Edmund Correia, Steven Rasmussen, and Beth Youngdoff. The enthusiasm of the many notation-software developers who contributed their best work to the annual solicitation for emerging method played an important role in moving the dial forward year by year. The musicologists and music theorists who sent in progress reports played an equally important role in helping to outline a field that was still in gestation. The contributing editors whose names are listed in each issue brought essential insights and perspectives.
