The search for the temporal grail? Reflections on notation, control and digital music representations

Abstract

This article examines notation, music representation and the representation of time. It builds on Boehm’s experience designing and implementing large-scale time-based information systems. In this article she focuses upon methodologies used for designing systems and data structures for time-based media. This submission looks specifically at issues around notation, control and the resulting requirements for digital representation of music and time-based information.
