Pascal Programming for Music Research FROM THE PUBLISHER
This book was written for those involved in computer-assisted music research and for those who wish to develop the requisite skills to begin work in the field. It can be used as a textbook for the classroom or self-instruction, as a reference manual, or as a 'cookbook' of ideas and techniques. While the intended audience is professionals and students in music theory, musicology, composition, and education, this text has been used successfully with performance majors and undergraduate students with a strong interest in computing.

Text on Pascal programming, designed specifically for use by musicians, deals rigorously and thoroughly with the special problems inherent in computer processing of music data for theoretic and musicologic research. It covers the range from elementary programming through advanced topics such as linked data structures, recursive algorithms, DARMS translation, and score processing. The text uses music problems as a vehicle for teaching programming, and computer programming as a tool for solving music problems. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
