Written by leading experts, this volume provides a picture of the
realities of current ICT use in musicology as well as prospects and
proposals for how it could be fruitfully used in the future. Through its
coverage of topics spanning content-based sound searching/retrieval,
sound and content analysis, markup and text encoding, audio resource
sharing, and music recognition, this book highlights the breadth and
inter-disciplinary nature of the subject matter and provides a valuable
resource to technologists, musicologists, musicians and music educators.
It facilitates the identification of worthwhile goals to be achieved
using technology and effective interdisciplinary collaboration.
