MPEG SMR Editor and Viewer Description

A Music Editor and Viewer for MPEG SMR format, Max MSP, MUCS MPEG-4 permits the encoding of multimedia content, including many different kinds of object types and a scene description allowing precise synchronization among them and specifying object composition rules. This Call is for MPEG-compatible technology to support symbolic representations of music (Symbolic Music Representation) synchronized with other MPEG object types. At the same time, MPEG tools do not include yet a systematic support of symbolic forms of music representations. Symbolic music representation is a multi-layered piece of information, which may be used for a wide range of different purposes: from coding and entertainment to music sheet production, music teaching, music analysis, content query, provision of enhanced or adapted music for consumers with specific needs, etc. It is understood that Symbolic Music Representation in this document means all kinds of symbolic music including different styles of Chant, Renaissance, Classic, Romantic and 20th Century styles, simplified notations for children, Braille and other forms yet to be considered. Symbolic representations of music have a logical structure consisting of: symbolic elements that represent audiovisual events; the relationship between those events; and aspects of rendering those events. There are many symbolic representations of music including different styles of Chant, Renaissance, Classic, Romantic, Jazz, Rock, Pop, and 20th Century styles, percussion notation, as well as simplified notations for children, Braille, etc. Many music-related software and hardware products are currently available in the market. Some integrate symbolic representations of music with multimedia content. Examples include: - Interactive music tutorials - Play training, performance training - Ear training - Compositional and theory training - Multimedia music publication - Software for music management in libraries (music tools integrating multimedia for navigation and for synchronization), - Software for entertainment (mainly synchronization between sound, text and symbolic information), - Piano keyboards with symbolic music representation and audiovisual capabilities, - Mobile devices with music display and editing capabilities. Current products generally utilize proprietary and incompatible technologies. Therefore content must be recreated for each product, and information exchange between products is difficult if not impossible. The lack of standardized tools to enable the symbolic representation of music results in each developer implementing their own solution. These solutions will necessarily vary in efficiency, scope, features, quality, and complexity. MPEG Symbolic Music Representation (SMR) will enable the synchronization of symbolic music elements with audio-visual events that are represented and rendered using existing MPEG technology. The breadth of MPEG standards for multimedia representation, coding, and playback, when integrated with symbolic representations of music will provide content interoperability and an efficient high quality, peer reviewed, standardized toolset for developers of these products. This will open the way for a large number of new applications with increased power and flexibility, as well as new markets for these kinds of applications. The repercussions may have a wide effect on music education, music entertainment and on the development of music as a whole. To be compliant with the MPEG SMR standard will not require compliance with all MPEG-4 standards. In MPEG, there are mechanisms to cope with the complexity of the standard by means of Profiles. If you have intention to respond with your valuable work at the call for proposal, you an do it even if your solution does not meet all requirements. The process for the standardisation will take into account any valuable solutions to identify that an be more attractive for the market and better solve the problem posed: MUSIC and MULTIMEDIA INTEGRATION for educational, cultural, archival acpplications and entertainment applications. This means that if you have a market valuable solution please verify it against the call for proposal and interact with us in order to adjust the Call to make it more general to cover more cases and thus to make it more acceptable as a world wide standard.
