i ran into a few issues trying to study classical music with a computer. first of all is merely putting in some representation of the musical score into a file. This was accomplished by MIDI but I am hoping for a more standard way that looks more like the notes of a score. Another problem is once you have the music there's a tremendous amount of "interpretation" that a musician does. the nodes may each read 1/8 but a musician might add or subtract 1/64 has he/she feels is good. other times the change is more mathematical 1/8+1/8+1/8 might have to actually be read 1/12+1/12+1/12 = 1/4 but that is much easier to fit into a computer I have said nothing of dynamics (loud/quiet), articulation (stoccatto, slurring etc). scores are available in IMSLP and other sources. but are computer files available as well?
