Musical scores are the central resource for musicological research. Our project, Single Interface for Music Score Searching and Analysis (SIMSSA), targets digitized music scores to design a global infrastructure for searching and analyzing music scores. Specifically, we seek to provide researchers, musicians, and others to access the contents and metadata of a large number of scores in a searchable, digital format. During the project, we will be developing prototypes for processing and accessing the scores by consulting closely music researchers and librarians.
