Oct 23, 2021 · 2.1 Music transcription in ethnomusicology. If they transcribe music at all, ethnomusicologists usually aim to document a specific performance on the basis of a recording (so-called ‘descriptive music-writing’), rather than to provide a model for performance (‘prescriptive music-writing’; Seeger, 1958 ).
Peripheral within ethnomusicology until the late 1970s, when ethnomusicology took a humanistic turn, and ethical considerations such as “giving back” and partnerships with musical communities became normal ethnomusicological practice, applied ethnomusicology moved from a marginal activity to its current place as a significant sub-discipline.

This is what transcription does in all circumstances. Creating a visual representation of the music – whether it is intended to allow the transcriber and reader to engage with the music more actively or to perform complex analyses – serves as an aid to processing and understanding the notator’s experience of the music.
Oct 12, 2021 · Computation in ethnomusicology. There has been renewed engagement with computation in ethnomusicology in recent years. The emerging branches of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) and Computational Ethnomusicology are areas of interdisciplinary science that focus on the use of computing for extracting musical information from digital data.

Upon successful transcription, (semi-)automatic musicological analyses become feasible, such as pattern discovery, analysis of form, or composer detection. For an overview of the breadth of the field and types of analyses performed see Meredith (2016).
Automatic music transcription (AMT) is the process of transferring an music audio signal to a symbolic repre-sentation using computational methods [14, p.30].
