M. Macknik" Subject: Score Readers I personally have heard a little scuttlebutt about this type of project here. The Arts and Tech symposium brought the subject up, and I believe someone mentioned that some people at Cornell were working on such a system and were having quite a bit of success. I could be completely wrong, however...list-eners from Cornell I'm sure could help me out with this. Try calling some schools and see if they can give you a contact name. I'll do a little leg-work here as well and see what I can come up with. Good Luck -- Jim ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Sep 1993 11:57:36 -0400 From: Hal Perkins Subject: Re: Score Readers >This message appeared on the electronic music network I subscribe to. >Is there any truth to this?

Maybe somebody in the electronic music studio in Lincoln would know something? Hal ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Sep 1993 09:40:06 GMT+2 From: "Pieter J.

I saw one demonstrated on our campus (University of Pretoria, South Africa) during one of those types of tech symposiums where electronic mice run mazes. After being fed a sheet of music, it played the piece over a Soundblaster (i.e.it ran on a PC :-( ) I don't know what format it the data is saved in, but ANY format is better than none, and from being able to play the music to saving it as a MIDI file is but a small step. I'll try to make contact with the creators - in such a way that they don't catch on to quickly to the comercial potential of their little project. I'll even try to get the program to you, all for a modest service fee ;-) ,_ /_) /| / / i e t e r / |/ a g e l pjnagel@rkw-risc.cs.up.ac.za No news from limbo. ------------------------------ End of the EMUSIC-L Digest ******************************
