Abstract
17th and 18th century music scores were copied and distributed in a manual
way. Music historians are interested in how the compositions were
distributed or in other words, who copied the compositions when and where.
Such information may also help to determine the composer when a piece of
unknown origin is found. In this paper, we present ongoing work on the
development of a software system to analyse such documents automatically
and to aid the musicologists in their task to register handwritten music
scores. In particular, we focus on the application and adaptation of image
processing methods to separate music symbols for the identification task
from irrelevant elements.
