The Music Notepad

We present a system for entering common music notation based on 2D gestural input. The key feature of the system is the look-and-feel of the interface which approximates sketching music with paper and pencil. A probability-based interpreter integrates sequences of gestural input to perform the most common notation and editing operations. In this paper, we present the user’s model of the system, the components of the high-level recognition system, and a discussion of the evolution of the system including user feedback.
