Delayed Release 2. Multimedia and MTO 3. Jobs Well Done =================== 1. Delayed Release MTO subscribers will have noticed that volume 3.5 is tardy by a little over one month. Issues are generally released around the 20th of alternate months, starting in January. The present issue was planned for September, but the release was postponed due to unanticipated complications in preparing the multimedia articles during August. An unusually chaotic beginning to the fall academic term forced me, regrettably, to delay further so that I am able to publish the long-awaited issue only now. I assure readers that its content will more than compensate for the late release. ------------------- 2. Multimedia and MTO As announced a few months ago, this issue features multimedia articles about multimedia authoring. The three informative presentations, created by Ann McNamee (Swarthmore College), Dave Headlam (Eastman School), and coauthors Alexander Brinkman and Elizabeth West Marvin (Eastman School), familiarize readers with the possibilities of multimedia, as well as guide them through the steps of applying multimedia techniques to scholarly research projects for publication on the Web (McNamee), and to pedagogical objectives (Headlam, Brinkman/Marvin). Each presentation discusses the tools necessary for creating multimedia works, and explains in detail how to begin using those tools. Our goal is to inspire readers to think about and, hopefully, to explore the potential of multimedia by trying their hand at it. "Aller Anfang ist schwer" advises a German saying (roughly, the first step is always tough). Viewing a well-designed, well-executed multimedia presentation, with text, graphics, sound, and film clips, can easily intimidate. However, after seeing the potential of the techniques as demonstrated in this issue, and after reading the instructive discussions about the basic procedures of multimedia authoring, we hope that some of you will be stimulated to further investigate the prospects for music-theoretical scholarship, and take the plunge into what promises to be an exciting new era in scholarly publishing. ------------------- 3. Jobs Well Done After SMT's annual meeting, held in Phoenix this year (Nov. 6-9), there are changes in staffing. Dave Headlam rotates off of the MTO Co-editorial Board, Robert Judd steps down as MTO Manager, and Brian Alegant finishes his term as Reviews Editor. I want to thank all of them for their assistance in helping MTO mature as an electronic publication. Those of you who follow SMT networking will soon hear more from Headlam because he has been appointed to a new and, for the promotion of multimedia authoring in music theory, important post. His article in this issue gives a glimpse of what is to come. An announcement will follow soon about his new role, in which we wish him much success. Judd (University of Pennsylvania) has been involved with SMT Networking from the very beginning, particularly in the early days when MTO was initiated as a pilot project. He published commentaries in its first issues (0.2, 0.3), as well as an article (0.8). Among other valuable contributions, he designed the layout of the MTO home page, created the template that gives the HTML version of our articles their uniform look, and wrote our guide for new Web users. Bob was recently appointed Executive Director of the American Musicological Society. His obligations in that capacity, along with increased family commitments, prevent him from continuing as MTO Manager and as (year-long!) "interim" mto-talk Manager. Many thanks to Bob for helping literally to shape and to establish MTO as a respected scholarly journal. His and Headlam's successors will be announced in the next issue. As if losing two valued members of the MTO staff weren't enough, yet a third is leaving the team, Reviews Editor Brian Alegant (Oberlin). Over the past years Brian has done a tremendous job in commissioning, editing, and delivering excellent reviews of a wide variety of books. Producing one review for six annual issues is difficult enough, and Brian often produced two. MTO readers have benefitted greatly from the diligence and care that he has put into his work. Thanks to Brian for exemplary service. The announcement of a new Reviews Editor will follow soon. Lee A.

Copyright Statement +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ Overview: 1. Retrieving *MTO* Items (with mto-serv, FTP, and through WWW) 2. Submissions to *MTO* 3. Subscribing to *MTO* 4. Retrieving *MTO* Documentation 5. Queries and Communications 1. RETRIEVING *MTO* ITEMS *MTO* FileServer Items are retrieved by sending an email message to the *MTO* FileServer, mto-serv, or through anonymous FTP (see below). To use the FileServer, send a message to one of the following two addresses: mto-serv@smt.ucsb.edu Leave the "Subject:" line blank and as the body of the message include the following lines (no personal letterheads or signatures!): path YourEmailAddress (Bitnet addresses *must* include .BITNET) send Item (specify item, as listed below) send Item (additional "send" lines, if desired) After the word "path," enter your full email address (Bitnet users must include .BITNET). Be *sure* to include the word "path" followed by a valid email address. Without the "path" line, mto-serv will not know where to deliver requested items. To retrieve items from the *current* issue of *MTO*, after the word "send," replace "Item" with the one of the following options: articles (= main article[s]) gifs (= musical examples) reviews (= reviews, MTO Correspondents' reports) commentaries (= commentaries on past *MTO* articles) dissertations (= dissertation listings) announcements (= announcements) jobs (= job listings) ads (= advertisements) books (= new book releases) package (= all the above items, in a single package) toc (= current table of contents) Example: path john_doe@cs.jupiter.mmu.edu send package ********************************************************************** CAUTIONARY NOTE: Subscribers with restricted emailbox space should be careful when using the "package" option. A full issue of *MTO*, text and musical examples, can be quite large and may "crash" an emailbox of limited size. It may be safer to request a few files at a time, and to remove them from the emailbox before requesting more files. ********************************************************************** For instructions on retrieving items from back issues, or complete back issues of *MTO*, consult the document "mto-guide.txt" (see below, on retrieving *MTO* documentation). FTP *MTO* items may also be retrieved through anonymous FTP. The site is: smt.ucsb.edu. An alternate FTP site is located at the University of North Texas: smtftp.acs.unt.edu. Use "anonymous" as loginID and your email address as password. Change to the directory pub/mto/issues/mto.yy.v.i (where yy = last two digits of the current year, v = volume number, and i = issue number) with the command: cd pub/mto/issues/mto.yy.v.i. The file mto.current contains all items constituting the current issue; toc.current is the most recent table of contents. The individual items of the current issue have filenames that begin as follows: mto.yy.v.i, where "yy" is the last two digits of the current year; "v" is the current volume number; and "i" is the current issue number (example: mto.94.0.6). Refer to the *MTO* Guide for further information. GOPHER The address of the *MTO* gopher site is: smt.ucsb.edu The initial menu includes an option for *MTO*. An alternate gopher site is at the University of North Texas: smtgopher.acs.unt.edu WWW *MTO* also has a World-Wide Web page.

One of the advantages of releasing six issues annually is that we can offer year-round opportunities for publication. Further, our referees, consulting editors, and other support staff communicate by email, which substantially reduces the time necessary for taking an essay from review to release. Finally, electronic publishing opens up opportunities for multimedia presentations that are impossible in print. MTO has staff and consultants who can assist authors with technical matters: Robert Judd, MTO Manager (mto-manager@smt.ucsb.edu) William Loewe, Music Example Designer (6500bill@ucsbuxa.ucsb.edu) Patrick Watts, MIDI Consultant (d.watts@worldnet.att.net) John Schaffer, Consultant (jwschaff@facstaff.wisc.edu) The increasing diversity of topics in, and approaches to, theory and analysis opens the way for essays of interest to a wider online audience. In an effort to broaden the topics and music-theoretical and analytical ideas presented in MTO, we especially encourage submissions from authors whose knowledge of other disciplines can contribute to musical understanding. As the welcome message sent to new MTO subscribers states, the journal is "a medium for the electronic distribution of thought-provoking essays of medium length, and well-conceived works in progress that treat current topics in music theory in a manner accessible to the general scholarly community online." MTO welcomes submissions at any time. (Please consult our author guidelines before preparing essays and commentaries. The author guidelines are available through our Web server at the URL http://smt.ucsb.edu/mto/docs/authors.txt as well as through our Gopher server, at smt.ucsb.edu (select item 4 on the first menu, item 1 on the second menu, and then choose "authors" on the next menu (item 2). The guidelines may also be retrieved via email by sending an empty message to mto-authors@smt.ucsb.edu Please contact the General Editor if you have any questions. Lee A.
