The Graphics Domain: Basic Principles
Pitch Height on a staff
Pitch inflection Marks (#, B, etc)
Pitch articulation Marks (staccato, tr)
Duration Assembly of
objects: Noteheads Stems and flags Beams Slurs
Value inferred from combinations of objects

Symbolic codes: DARMS and SCORE
CS 275A/Music 253 2015 Eleanor Selfridge-Field 16
DARMS (1965) Columbia/Princeton/Yale Theoretically for notation One-pass input scheme Required intermediate
representation for score assembly
Note Processor (c.1986-92): only commercial program to use it [on PCs]
Legacy = analysis
SCORE (1972) Stanford/Bell Labs Actually for notation Five-pass input scheme Required intermediate
representation for score assembly
SCORE (1972--): only commercial notation program to use it
Legacy = collected works of major composers
