The usefulness and desirability of representation schemes which explicitly show musical structure has often been commented upon. A particular aim of music theory and analysis has been to describe and derive musical structure, and this article discusses computational systems based on this work. Six desirable properties of a structural representation are described: that it should be constructive, derivable, meaningful, decomposable, hierarchical, and generative. Previous computational work based on the generative and reductional theories of Schenker and of Lerdahl and Jackendoff is examined in the light of these properties. Proposals are made for a representational framework which promises the desirable properties. The framework shares charac...
