Editor's Message

With this issue, production of Music Theory Online moves fully to
Indiana University.  I am pleased to welcome Brent Yorgason, Art
Samplaski, Michael Toler, and Elisabeth Honn as Editorial
Assistants.  For their willingness to assume these new
responsibilities I am grateful.  Physically, MTO will continue to
reside on the Boethius server at the University of
California--Santa Barbara.

Allow me to remind subscribers that Music Theory Online accepts
submissions on any topic of interest to the music theory
community.  Submissions that take advantage of the special
multimedia opportunities afforded by the online format of MTO are
especially encouraged, but that is by no means required.  For
those who may feel intimidated by the process of submitting
manuscripts electronically, I hope to develop new guidelines and
procedures during the summer to make it easier to do so.  Review
of submissions can normally be completed within four weeks, with
publication possible in most cases within three or four months of
acceptance.  Researchers are welcome to contact me to discuss
ideas for special projects.
