Abstract
In recent years, Optical Musical Recognition systems and processes have been extensively researched and developed. Recently, new visions have been provided that include handwritten music. However, most of the works developed focus on pneumatic, mensural, or cultured music, and hardly any examples of noncanonical or closer to modern music can be found. The present proposal tries to be a presentation and a declaration of intention of a larger project, which, hopefully, will end in the presentation of a PhD thesis. It is intended to contribute an idea of how to include a musical genre such as Jazz, and its paradigmatic handwritten sources, in the Optical Musical Recognition research field (until now excluded) using tools and procedures previously used, adapting them, and concluding in what is the best way and what are the ways to carry it out that end. Not concluding only in the mere transcription but in all the possibilities offered by digital music editing and analysis.
