Music informatics is a study of music processing,[1] in particular music representations, fourier analysis of music, music synchronization, music structure analysis and chord recognition.[1][2] Other music informatics research topics include computational music modeling (symbolic, distributed, etc.),[2] computational music analysis,[2] optical music recognition,[2] digital audio editors, online music search engines, music information retrieval and cognitive issues in music. Because music informatics is an emerging discipline, it is a very dynamic area of research with many diverse viewpoints, whose future is yet to be determined.
