I have a philosophical question for anyone outhere:

I was wondering if anyone could recommend some books, or, preferably, had
some of their own thoughts, about possible representations for music that
can be understood by a computer (other than standard notation and MIDI).

What constitutes a musical event?  What would be a good strategy for 
representing not only the music itself but also all (if possible) aspects
of a given musical performance?
