This article addresses music representation issues in the context of the contemporary music creation and performance. It exposes the main challenges in terms of music notation and representation, in regard of the new forms of music and with an emphasis on interactive music issues. It presents INScore, an environment for the design of augmented, interactive music scores that has been developed in response to current artistic evolutions. It gives an overview of the system with a presentation of its main features and highlights on the main technologies involved. Concrete examples of use with recent music creations, composers' viewpoint and an electro-acoustic piece modeling will also be given.

The paper presents a study about the representation of musical computer processes within a music score. The idea is to provide performers with information that could be useful especially in the context of interactive music. The paper starts with a characterization of a musical computer process in order to define the values to be represented. Next it proposes an approach to time representation suitable to asynchronous processes representation.

INScore is an environment for the design of interactive music scores that includes an original event-based interaction system and a scripting language for associating arbitrary messages to these events. We extended the previous version by supporting scripting languages offering a great flexibility in the description of scores and in the interactions with scores. The textual format is directly derived from the OSC message format that was defined in the original... Lire la suite

INScore is an environment for the design of interactive music scores that includes an original event-based interaction system and a scripting language for associating arbitrary messages to these events. We extended the previous version by supporting scripting languages offering a great flexibility in the description of scores and in the interactions with scores. The textual format is directly derived from the OSC message format that was defined in the original INScore version. This article presents the scripting language and illustrates its ability to describe interactions based on events, while remaining in the temporal space. It also introduces the IRCAM gesture follower and how it is embedded into INScore to provide gestural interaction capabilities.

INScore is an open source framework for the design of interactive, augmented, live music scores. Augmented music scores are graphic spaces providing representation, composition and manipulation of heterogeneous and arbitrary music objects (music scores but also images, text, signals...), both in the graphic and time domains. INScore includes also a dynamic system for the representation of the music performance, considered as a specific sound or gesture instance... Lire la suite

INScore is an open source framework for the design of interactive, augmented, live music scores. Augmented music scores are graphic spaces providing representation, composition and manipulation of heterogeneous and arbitrary music objects (music scores but also images, text, signals...), both in the graphic and time domains. INScore includes also a dynamic system for the representation of the music performance, considered as a specific sound or gesture instance of the score, and viewed as signals. It integrates an event based interaction mechanism that opens the door to original uses and designs, transforming a score as a user interface or allowing a score self-modification based on temporal events. This paper presents the system features, the underlying formalisms, and introduces the OSC based scripting language.

Basé sur le format de notation musicale Guido , nous avons développé un ensemble d'outils pour la composition de partitions musicales. Il s'agit d'opérations de transformation de haut niveau, prenant des partitions en entrée pour en générer de nouvelles en sortie. Ces opérations peuvent par exemple s'appliquer au domaine temporel (e.g. couper le début ou la fin d'une partition) ou concerner la structure de la partition (mise en séquence, en parallèle).

An Augmented Music Score is a graphic space providing the representation, composition and manipulation of het- erogeneous music objects (music scores but also images, text, signals...), both in the graphic and time domains. In addition, it supports the representation of the music perfor- mance, considered as a specific sound or gestural instance of the score. This paper presents the theoretical foundation of the augmented music score as well as an application -... Lire la suite

An Augmented Music Score is a graphic space providing the representation, composition and manipulation of het- erogeneous music objects (music scores but also images, text, signals...), both in the graphic and time domains. In addition, it supports the representation of the music perfor- mance, considered as a specific sound or gestural instance of the score. This paper presents the theoretical foundation of the augmented music score as well as an application - an augmented score viewer - that implements the proposed solutions.

The Guido Music Notation format (GMN) is a general purpose formal language for representing score level music in a platform independent plain text and human readable way. Based on this music representation format, the Guido Lib provides a generic, portable library and API for the graphical rendering of musical scores. This paper gives an introduction to the music notation format and to the Guido graphic score rendering engine. An example of application, the Gui... Lire la suite

IMUTUS is an IST European project that aims at the development of an open platform for training students on the recorder. Among the results of the project are two open source libraries for music representation and graphic notation: the MusicXML library, intended to support the MusicXML format and to provide music notation exchange capabilities, and the GUIDO library that provides a powerful graphic score engine.
