ABSTRACT:
Digital musical information for a musical score is stored in records that are established based on types of musical information or notation and are therefore independent of the musical sequence of the score. In this manner, the information for a single musical element such as a note, clef, or accent can be spread over more than one record, or information for more than one element can be included in a single record. This storage format accommodates subsequent revisions or additions to the score or accessing code, facilitates data compression for enhanced transmission rates, facilitates progressive (e.g., page-by-page) transmission and provides enhanced flexibility for implementing encryption techniques.
