TY - RPRT AU - Emilia Gomez AU - Cynthia Liem AU - Sonia Espi AU - Aggelos Gkiokas AU - Tim Crawford AU - David Weigl AB - Scores are used throughout TROMPA, and are an indispensable means of communicating and preserving the musical content of classical music works. Music notation evolved since about the tenth century and is universally understood by professional musicians, i.e. those most likely to generate the performances discussed and appreciated by their audiences. At the same time, it is not necessary to understand music notation to appreciate and enjoy classical music, so TROMPA does not expect its community of music-enthusiasts to read it, although many members of this community will be able to do so. Digital scores, either rendered from MEI encodings via the TROMPA Data Infrastructure, or from PDF or other graphic files representing physical library documents (such as the historic printed scores available via IMSLP, or the early music prints in EMO), will find extensive use throughout WPs 3, 4, 5 & 6. The Digital Score Edition component of TROMPA is to a large extent based on the Music Encoding and Linked Data (MELD) [1] technology developed in prior projects FAST1 and Transforming Musicology2; this will be adapted and augmented for the specific purposes of TROMPA. It combines use of the Music Encoding Initiative (MEI) format for representing musical documents with a semantic approach tailored to the requirements of musicians and music scholars, using Linked Data. This document describes the essentials of the Digital Score Edition component and summarises how they will be put to use in various use-cases. It largely focuses on new elements being introduced for TROMPA, in particular, methods for user-contributed and automated annotations which preserve provenance and maintain user control; to a large extent this is ground-breaking work, so some research questions (see 1.2 Annotations and links) remain open. The Digital Score Edition component of TROMPA closely interacts with the Contributor Environment (WP5 - TROMPA Contributor Environment) via TROMPA’s Data Infrastructure (TR-D5.1- Data Infrastructure v1). We expect it to find use to a greater or lesser extent in the following Tasks: 3.2 (Music description); 3.4 (Visual analysis of scores); 3.6 (Multimodal cross-linking); 5.3 (Multimodal integration of music data); 5.4 (Music performance assessment mechanisms); 6.2 (Pilot for music scholars); 6.3 (Pilot for orchestras); 6.4 (Pilot for instrument players); 6.5 (Pilot for singers) N2 - Scores are used throughout TROMPA, and are an indispensable means of communicating and preserving the musical content of classical music works.
