About

This test site is a demonstration of viable workflows to transform printed music to digital formats for computer assisted analyais, while providing a simple interface for browsing the scores visually and aurally.

Музика и речи из ризнице Митрополита Загребачког Дамаскина (Грданичког)
Music and Words from the Treasury of Metropolitan Damaskin (Grdanički) of Zagreb

Music was first entered manually into Sibelius, exported as MusicXML, then transformed to MEI so that it could be viewed and played in the browser with Verovio, a music notation engraving library that outputs the score as SVG as well as a MIDI stream.

While the original scores were entered by hand, they are fairly clear and simple and could well have been digitized by currently available OCR packages. All other procedures were automated: export to XML, transform to MEI, generate HTML, display SVG, play MIDI stream.

All material on this website is drawn directly from files in the repository and all file types are generated from a single transcription using Sibelius.
