New USENET Newsgroup: comp.music.research
By John Fitch

For those of you with access to a Usenet newsreader, you may be interested in a new group named comp.music.research

It's too early to tell how good or how theoretically the group will be, but I've forwarded the first posting below which describes the group. Note that it is a moderated group, meaning that postings to it will be relayed to the moderator for approval before being posted to the world.

It seems rather gauche to mail everyone who voted on the creation of this group, but I would like to thank everyone, both supporters and opponents, for the whole process, which has been remarkably smooth.

It is now up to the moderator to ensure that the discussion runs smoothly.

I will start to prepare a FAQ (unless someone else wishes to do it), but until then the charter says

"comp.music.research is a moderated newsgroup for discussion of the
 uses on computers in any aspect of research into music, including
 composition, analysis, synthesis and sound generation.  It also
 includes music representation systems, information retrieval systems
 for musical scores, music printing (but not commercial advertising),
 and computer-based musicology and ethnomusicology.

"It is a forum to ask questions, share information, and to announce new
 results.  It is expected that the information may be used by the
 Music-Research Digest for their mailing list."

So, let it all start.....
