Folk song research (FSR) often deals with large collections of tunes that have various types of relations to each other.Computational methods can support the study of the contents of these collections.Music Information Retrieval (MIR) research provides such methods.Yet a fruitful cooperation of both disciplines is difficult to achieve.We present a role-model to structure this cooperation in which tasks and responsibilities are distributed among the roles of MIR, Computational Musicology (CM) and FSR.
