Graphic to Symbolic Representations of Musical Notation

Description

This paper discusses a graphically oriented representation for music and how such representation systems can be converted into more symbolic/semantic representations of music. Specifically the representation system of the SCORE notation editor is presented along with case studies converting into other symbolic formats such as MIDI, Humdrum, Dox, MuseData, MusicXML and MEI using scorelib, an open-source library. Knowledge of the SCORE data format is useful for projects working on OMR (Optical Music Recognition) as it can be used as an intermediate layer between the raw scans and other digital music notation representation systems, as well as going in the other direction again from generalized music representations to specific graphical layouts.
