Music notation is facing new musical forms such as electronic and/or interactive music, live coding, hybridizations with dance, design, multimedia. It is also facing the migration of musical instruments to gestural and mobile platforms , which poses the question of new scores usages on devices that mostly lack the necessary graphic space to display the music in a traditional setting and approach. Music scores distributed and shared on the Internet start also to be the support of innovative musical practices, which raises other issues, notably regarding dynamic and collaborative music scores. This paper introduces some of the perspectives opened by the migration of music scores to mobile platforms and to the Internet and it presents the approach adopted with INScore, an environment for the design of augmented, interactive music scores.

We present a new protocol to transmit time ordered events in real-time over Internet and to operate a correct time rendering on the receiver side. This protocol provides solutions to compensate for the network latency, to optimize the bandwidth use and to take account of the clock drift of the different stations involved in a transmission. It is particularly suitable to transmit musical events such as MIDI events. The implementation is based on the User Datagra... Lire la suite

We present a new protocol to transmit time ordered events in real-time over Internet and to operate a correct time rendering on the receiver side. This protocol provides solutions to compensate for the network latency, to optimize the bandwidth use and to take account of the clock drift of the different stations involved in a transmission. It is particularly suitable to transmit musical events such as MIDI events. The implementation is based on the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) however, the proposed solution is independant of the underlying network layers.
