Input musical information into the database
In order to input new data, as many fields as possible should be
filled. It is necessary to input a tone row in numeric form which in general
should not be given in a normal form, but in the form in which it
appears in the composition. For the different input alphabets the translation

should be used. Furthermore the name of the composer, his/her first
name, the title of the composition, and the date when the piece was
written must be input. Some additional information can be input,
e.g. concerning the scoring of the piece, the name of the tone row,
or the part where the tone row occurs. Optionally a link to the
composer and/or to the composition can be added. If all the data
are input correctly, then the software will determine the number of
the D12 × D12-orbit of the tone row, and its
position in the orbit. The new entry will not immediately be open
to the public. First it must be checked by the second author.
Obviously, often it is necessary to analyze a composition
thoroughly until the tone row it is based on can be detected.
Therefore it would be helpful to obtain a scan of the composition
per e-mail showing the occurrence of the tone row.
