Scores and music documents have been digitized by libraries and archives worldwide for preservation and access. Some of these digital libraries' resources are being converted into symbolic files representing the music content of the documents. These symbolic music files, in turn, allow for preservation and access to the music content and more interaction with the music itself—through rendering, playback, search, and computational music analysis.</span><o:p></o:p></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0cm; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;"><font face="Arial"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.666667px;">The conference strongly encourages <b>posters</b> that address this year’s theme; however, we welcome all posters addressing all traditional topics that fall under the scope of DLfM.
