we provide lunch on Thursday and Friday. We also provide catering for coffee
breaks every morning and afternoon. The fee also includes a three-day ticket
(Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) for local transit within Mainz.

This small company supports the conference by taking care of all financial

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Music encoding is now a prominent feature of various areas in musicology
and music librarianship. The encoding of symbolic music data provides a
foundation for a wide range of scholarship, and over the last several
years, has garnered a great deal of attention in the digital humanities.

This conference intends to provide an overview of the current state of
data modeling, generation, and use, and aims to introduce new
perspectives on topics in the fields of traditional and computational
musicology, music librarianship, and scholarly editing, as well as in the
broader area of digital humanities.

With its dual focus on music encoding and editing in the context of the
digital humanities, the Program Committee is happy to announce keynote
lectures by Frans Wiering (Universiteit Utrecht), and Daniel Pitti
(University of Virginia), both distinguished scholars in their respective
fields of musicology and markup technologies in the digital humanities.
