Tony Stewart Hard copy should be accompanied by SASE Chris Straayer for return of manuscript. Please, make a note of it. CM is edited by Walter B. Hewlett and Eleanor Selfridge-Field from reports provided directly by active researchers and software developers. This issue contains 170 pages and provides approximately 50 pages of illustrations. It includes articles on encoding neumes and mensural notation, optical recognition of musical data, technical standards for music documents, software for dance notation, software for analysis, teaching, and composition, issues of organization and access in data base development, and workstations and hyperware.
CM provides the only systematic and comprehensive annual survey of software for music printing.
More than 50 programs, suited to approximately a dozen different hardware environments, are listed in the current issue. A five-year comprehensive index appeared in 1989. CM has been praised for its leading role in providing a forum that is both interdisciplinary and international, in making technical information available in ways that are easily comprehensible to humanities scholars, and in suggesting new methods of and directions for future research. 1990 Table of Contents Preface. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 News . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
