# FMA 2013 - Computer Assisted Transcripton of Ethnic Music

At [the third international workshop on Folk Music Analysis (FMA2013)](http://www.elab-oralculture.nl/fma2013) we presented a poster titled "Computer Assisted Transcription of Ethnic Music":\[A0-Poster.png\]. The workshop took place in Amsterdam, Netherlands, June 6 and 7, 2013.

In the extended abstract, also titled "Computer Assisted Transcription of Ethnic Music":\[FMA_2013.computer_assisted_transcription.pdf\], it is described how the Tarsos software program now has features aiding transcription. Tarsos is especially practical for ethnic music of which the tone scale is not known beforehand. [The proceedings of FMA 2013](http://igitur-archive.library.uu.nl/math/2013-0604-200726/UUindex.html) are available as well.
