The present issue contains a generous set of reviews and the usual listings of professional announcements, employment opportunities, new dissertations, and new books. MTO readers are reminded that reactions to MTO items can be made in two ways. Short comments are appropriate for mto-talk, the journal's email discussion list (one must be an official MTO subscriber to post to mto-talk). More extended responses may be submitted as Commentaries, which will be published in a subsequent issue. Formatting guidelines for Commentaries are the same as for regular submissions and can be reviewed in the MTO Author Guidelines . Readers are also reminded that MTO accepts submissions of articles at any time. Articles are read blind and authors normally receive a response within about four weeks. I am happy to work with potential contributors who, after reading the Author Guidelines (URL is listed above) have questions about preparing musical examples. We continue to improve the MTO web pages. The Comprehensive Author Index has been resigned to improve readability. Your suggestions for making it easier to use the site are always welcome. Eric J. Isaacson, General Editor Music Theory Online School of Music Indiana University Bloomington, IN 47405 U.S.A. mto-editor@smt.ucsb.edu voice: (812) 855-0296 (with voice mail) fax: (812) 855-4936 9. 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. The URL is: http://smt.ucsb.edu/mto/index.html Follow the links to the current or past issues. 2. SUBMISSIONS TO MTO MTO encourages the submission of essays and commentaries on published MTO essays. 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: Ichiro Fujinaga, 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 (ASCII) http://smt.ucsb.edu/mto/docs/authors.html (HTML) 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. Eric J.
