Abstract
Music scores of the 17th and 18th century were copied and distributed by
hand. Musicologists study the ways and times that such music scores were
distributed to derive further knowledge about the work of composers and
copyists. In their studies, musicologists determine certain characteristic
features of a writer's handwriting style and of the paper that was used.
Such knowledge then allows to derive some infromation about the origin of
a music score, if it is unknown. We present here an overview of the
DFG-funded project "eNoteHistory" - started in 2003 - that investigates
methods for determining the characteristics of a writer's handwriting style
and the implementation of such methods in a software system. The goal is
to develop a simple to use system, that supports the research work of
musicologists.
