April 24, 1990
The Center for Computer Assisted Research in the Humanities is
accepting between now and June 30 prospective contributions for the
1990 issue of "Computing in Musicology." This publication aims to
present concise information about research now in progress and
recently completed in the field of computer applications in
musicology. It reaches more than 1000 readers worldwide.
Free contributions of one to two typed, doubled-spaced pages
may be mailed to the Center at 525 Middlefield Road, Suite 120,
Menlo Park, CA 94025. Those wishing to submit examples of music
encoding or printing need to write to the Center to obtain the
information packet, which includes this year's set pieces.
Directories are sold on a prepaid basis by the Center and are
also available through certain distributors and bookstores (two
local sources are the Stanford Bookstore and Computer Literacy); for
the UK and Europe they can be ordered by sending a note to
LisaWhistlecroft@lancaster.ac.uk. We have tried to be liberal about
currency conversion but find checks drawn on Continental banks
increasingly problematical. The prices vary with the source. From
the Center the prices are $15 for 1989, $12 for 1988, and $10 for
1987; air postage is $7 to Europe and $9 to Asia, Australia, New
Zealand, and the Middle East.
Half of all questions asked in this forum have been considered
in Computing in Musicology, and those who have read the publication
have in many cases moved on to more demanding problems that are
generally not considered in MRD. If you are a serious researcher
in this field and you have not consulted CM to find out who else is
working in the same area as you are or what the current capabilities
of available music printing software are (we poll eighty vendors),
you might save time and make new friends by reading CM.
CM is edited by Walter B. Hewlett and Eleanor Selfridge-Field.
Questions concerning music printing contributions may be addressed
to Edmund Correia at the Center.
[ I strongly recommend this valuable publication to all our readers!
I would also say that "more demanding problems" are very welcome in
this digest ... - S ]

David Lewin was kind enough to provide me with details regarding the original
Italian source in which Dom Paolo Ferretti gives a "context-free grammar" for
centonized plainchant:
Ferretti, Paolo Maria, _Estetica gregoriana_ (New York: Da Capo Press,
1977). Reprint of the 1934 edition published by Pontificio istituto di
musica sacra, Rome.

"By long custom, social discourse in Cambridge in intended to impart and only
rarely to obtain information. People talk; it is not expected that anyone
will listen. A respectful show of attention is all that is required until
the listener takes over in his or her turn. No one has ever been known to
repeat what he or she has heard at a party or other social gathering."

ABOUT OUR HOST, THE GRAPHIC COMMUNICATIONS ASSOCIATION (GCA)
The Graphic Communications Association organizes several conferences
each year intended to inform and serve the needs of the entire commun-
ity of publishers and the systems makers who serve them. The GCA is
particularly interested in promoting the development of powerful stan-
dards for the representation of various kinds of documents, including
both musical and hypermedia documents.
NOTES TO NEW PARTICIPANTS/OBSERVERS:
1. Prospective members and observers are welcome at any time to par-
ticipate in the current technical work of the committee. (You
can be most effective in conveying your viewpoint if you can
present it in the context of the current work -- in other words,
please be familiar with X3V1.8M/SD-6, SD-7 and SD-8. If you
don't have these, they can be obtained for a nominal charge from
the X3V1.8M Secretariat.) New participants are also urged to
obtain and read ISO 8879 (Standard Generalized Markup Language).

ISO 8879:1986/Amendment 1 from the same organization.

been set aside for persons who wish to address the committee on
topics of their own choosing, relating to the subject matter or
methodology of the committee's work.
3. New participants are asked (but not required) to inform Charles
Goldfarb (c/o Debbie Perez, IBM Almaden Research Center,
