"BOGEN: An Augmented Bowing Notation"
-----------------------------------------------------
String players do a lot of work that could be done better by computer. Suppose
you are an orchestra musician. Would you know which direction to bow in, and
what part of the bow to use, if the conductor picked an arbitrary bar to
rehearse from? We believe that the bowing notation currently used imposes a
heavy human computation cost that could be avoided with a little research and
some programming, resulting in intelligent music software for use on the eStand
project, or similar projects supporting computerised music stands.
