Abstract

Like other complex visual articles with small details, musical scores are difficult to capture and present well in digital form. This article presents methods that can be used to reproduce detail and tone from printed scores for creating archival images, based on best practices commonly used by the library community. Capture decisions should be made with a clear idea of the purpose of the imaging project yet be flexible enough to fulfill unanticipated future uses. Options and recommendations for file formats for archival storage, Web delivery and printing of musical materials are discussed.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to present a new web‐based cataloguing system for the global music bibliography project, Répertoire International des Sources Musicales (RISM), and discuss the implications for the manipulation and discovery of musical heritage materials.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper is designed to illustrate the workflow and tools used in creating a global musical catalogue, and to present the experiences of the Swiss RISM working group in developing new tools and re‐thinking traditional music bibliography tools.

Findings

The new tools developed present a further decrease in latency between source cataloguing and availability to users by integrating both the cataloguing and exploration interfaces into a single web application.

Research limitations/implications

For music researchers, the opportunity to search and manipulate a global musical source database opens up new possibilities for data‐driven computational musicology and analysis.

Originality/value

This paper reports preliminary work in musical incipit searching in the Swiss RISM database, as well as the latest developments in integrating digital facsimile images and sound resources.
