This month, we feature a guest post from Mark Saccomano, a PhD candidate in the Music Theory program at Columbia. Mark is currently in-residence in the Music & Arts Library’s Digital Music Lab, in the Digital Centers Internship Program. Mark’s post deals with his work exploring the analysis, manipulation, and visualization of digital music scores, including working with tools such as music21, musicXML, and the Music Encoding Initiative (MEI), an emerging standard for, among other things, digital music scores editions.

We’re very excited to have Mark working on these areas for 2016-17!
