Description
Peachnote is a music score search engine and analysis platform. It seeks to do for music scores what Google Books Search does for books. We are aiming at indexing all scanned music scores and making their content available for querying and algorithmic analysis. Peachnote's sources include the Petrucci Music Library, the Library of Congress and sheet images found on the Internet. We would like to help build up the foundation needed for computational musicology research by assembling a large corpus of symbolic music data.

Goal and description of the Peachnote VO:
Peachnote is a music score search engine and analysis platform. The system is the first of its kind and can be thought as an analog of Google Books Ngram Viewer and Google Books search for music scores. Hundreds of thousands of music scores are being digitized by libraries all over the world. In contrast to books, they generally remain inaccessible for content-based retrieval and algorithmic analysis. There is no analogue to Google Books for music scores, and there exist no large corpora of symbolic music data that would empower musicology in the way large text corpora are empowering computational linguistics, sociology, history, and other humanities that have printed word as their major source of evidence about their research subjects. We want to help change that. Peachnote provides visitors and researchers access to a massive amount of symbolic music data.
Members and Managers of the VO agree to be bound by the Grid Acceptable Usage Rules, VO Security Policy and other relevant Grid Policies, and to use the Grid only in the furtherance of the stated goal of the VO.
