Description: In this thesis we created the MCurve prototype, a system for composing graphical music scores using pen-based interaction techniques. This prototype is based on early twentieth century graphical scores and the psychological and ethno-musicological research into the way humans perceive melodies and create them. Within MCurve, we developed new pen-based techniques for phrase-based musical input, linear curve editing and chord progressions. We performed a quantitative study comparing  Char-rec, Piano-Roll and our own crossing-based technique for transcribing western melodic phrases.
