Abstract

This article brings together the contribution of the participants in a Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM) of the COST Action EarlyMuse (CA21161) which took place at the IMF-CSIC in Barcelona (June 2024). The discussions involved different aspects of projects with digital music edition, annotation, analysis, and the problems related to preservation of music heritage, with particular attention to the situation in Ukraine. The diverse geographical and professional background and expertise of the authors provides, in their respective sections of the article, a rich panorama on technological projects, issues, models, interoperability, and digital tools. A final Appendix contains a useful list, with links, of the projects, websites, and tools mentioned during the STSM meeting.
