Friends,<div><br></div><div>Just a short note to bring you up to date on the Du Chemin Project, and in particular some excellent progress we have made with MEI. You can read the details in the links below. I am printing the documents, too, and can easily send along copies of the report to you. Just let me know if you would like a copy.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Meanwhile the most important developments (for the MEI group, in any case): thanks to Raffaele Viglianti and Andrew Hankinson, we have a nice system that allows us to move smoothly from our original Sibelius and Finale transcriptions to MEI and then to on-screen rendering of musical examples. The aim, as you might recall, is to build a large analytic "thesaurus" of musical types and procedures from our repertory, then coordinate these with proposed reconstructions of missing voice parts in still other pieces.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Follow the links below to see various explanations and demonstrations. The attached set of images shows you just a small bit of what we can do--in this case searching for a particular type of cadence, then displaying the result.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Meanwhile, best wishes for a productive year,</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Richard</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">
