Paper abstract bibtex 22 downloads There are profound differences between the notation of text and music in terms of their purpose, use of symbols and how they translate into a machine-readable form. This paper identifies the difficulties of encoding music notation as compared to text and how these difficulties may be handled. Despite the challenges, encoding formats for notated music which are as sophisticated as comparable textual formats are now available, such as the XML schema defined by the Music Encoding Initiative (MEI). But are there any limits to what is possible to encode? The author argues that today the primary limiting factor is not the available encoding systems but rather the ambiguity and complexity of music notation itself.
