[MEI-L] Annote project - Annotation of Musical Scores: requirements and considerations for digital implementation

[David Lewis]

Dear MEI community,

Those of you following this list (or who were at the IAML conference 
this summer) will be aware that we have been surveying the use of 
musical annotations as part of our project 'Annote: Digital Notation 
Annotation for RISM'.

We've drafted a report based on that survey, which we will use to inform 
extensions to the Verovio music engraving library.

Before we start on that work, we would very much welcome feedback, 
observations and corrections on our report from the community (your 
input will also be acknowledged in future versions of this document).

You can find the report here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Hhih8UKTRRhf_CObTL5Neo_2yaCx46SycDIesPj1mTY/edit?usp=sharing
The document is open for commenting, but if you would prefer to contact 
us directly, we are happy to take feedback by e-mail or on the MEI slack 
as well.

In addition, we will be adding a slot to the agenda of the MEI community 
meeting on December 2.

We would like all feedback to reach us by ** 7 December ** (and be 
warned -- it's quite a long document).

Please do help us by giving your opinions and expertise, and thank you 
to all those who participated in our survey. We are not yet ready to 
make the survey responses or summary publicly available (we expect to 
publish them in an academic venue in the near future and we are also 
evaluating them from a privacy and ethics point of view), but we may be 
able to share these in confidence on a one-to-one basis in some 
circumstances.

Thank you again for your continued help and support. We look forward to 
your input!
