Kai Renz, Holger H. Hoos · 1998
Abstract. This paper describes how exible, online conventional music notation (CMN) can be obtained using the powerful music description language GUIDO in conjunction with the WEB-based GUIDO NoteServer. This fast, exible, easy to use, and portable approach to platform-independent music notation can be used for a broad range of applications, for example to display conventional music notation on WEB-pages or to realise score displays in musical applications.
