<font face="Calibri">It should be kept in mind that Microsoft Excel
reads MusicXML: the music can be transformed into a series of
figures in Excel, which can be interrogated using the whole power
of the spreadsheat. The page
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.plm.paris-sorbonne.fr/spip.php?rubrique188">http://www.plm.paris-sorbonne.fr/spip.php?rubrique188</a> provides an
example of an Excel set of macros allowing the description of
monodies; there used to be a routine for the extraction of the
Excel data from MusicXML files, but this seems missing on the page
at this point.<br>
<br>
The site <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.psautiers.org/">http://www.psautiers.org/</a> proposes a free depository of
music, where the files, recorded in MusicXML, can be read in music
notation and searched on the basis of melodic patterns (ISMLP now
offers a similar search function).<br>
<br>
The project NEUMA (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.neuma.fr/">http://www.neuma.fr/</a>) aims at uniting projects
such as that of psautiers.org. Unless I am mistaken, it proposes
the possibility of melodic search based not only on the identity
of melodic successions, but also on similitudes.<br>
