Abstract

In this paper we report on the ISMIR 2013 Demo and Late Breaking Session entitled Digital Musicology and MIR. Five papers were discussed as examples of interesting MIR contributions to musicology. Two important projects, Transforming Musicology and CompMusic, were briefly presented. Finally, this paper reports the first results of a questionnaire about challenges from Digital Musicology for MIR research. The most important outcomes are that lack of suitable musical data is still an important obstacle and that there is a great demand for tools and methods that make integrated access and analysis of symbolic and audio data possible.
