ABSTRACT:
A music modification system is provided and described herein, which includes: a) a computer, b) a music element library, c) at least one part-score database, d) a software code that executes a music modification system on the computer, wherein the music modification system accesses or manipulates the information in the music element library and accesses the at least one part-score database, and e) a graphical or audio user interface that is coupled to the computer. Methods of modifying a musical score or piece are described herein and include: a) providing a music element library, b) providing at least one part-score database, wherein the database comprises at least one music score, at least one music pieces, at least one music part or a combination thereof, c) providing an executable music modification system, and d) utilizing the music modification system and the music element library to modify at least part of the at least one part-score database. A software code is also described that executes a music modification system on a computer, wherein the music modification system accesses or manipulates a set of information in a music element library and accesses at least one part-score database.
