It is simultaneously inspired by th</span><span lang="it">e recent “Digital Technologies Applied to Music Research Conference: Methodologies, Projects and Challenges” </span><span lang="it">(Lisbon, 06.2024), alongside reflections and consolidation celebrating a decade of contributions from the international Digital Libraries for Musicology conference (DLfM), which held its first event in London in September 2014. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p><font size="2"><span lang="it" style="line-height: 16.48px;"><font face="Georgia">We welcome discussions on pressing issues in the digital humanities, such as cultural heritage preservation, FAIR principles and interconnected repertories, digital sustainability, and increasing awareness and access to digital music in non-academic contexts. We also provide a venue for reflecting upon, re-evaluating, and revisiting research previously presented at DLfM, which has since been substantially extended or adapted, or for surveying and summarising technologies and methodologies that have emerged as instrumental or prevalent in the digital musicology research community. By bringing together scholars from digital libraries, humanities, computational musicology, and MIR, this collection aims to foster a broader mutual understanding of the needs, challenges, and desired outcomes within each of these areas. It seeks to help scholars evaluate methodologies and research questions, ultimately contributing to the development of new, more dynamic, inclusive and integrated research that benefits from diverse contributions. </font></span><font face="Georgia"><span lang="it" style="line-height: 16.48px;">From a musicologist</span><span lang="it" style="line-height: 16.48px;">’</span><span lang="it" style="line-height: 16.48px;">s perspective, it will explore how digital technologies are transforming research practices and examine the extent of interdisciplinary collaboration between historical musicologists and music technology scholars in advancing our understanding and use of music.</span></font></font></div><font face="Georgia" size="2"></font><div><font face="Georgia" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font face="Georgia" size="2"><b>Guest Editors</b></font></div><div><ul class="MailOutline"><li><font face="Georgia" size="2">Elsa De Luca (lead).
