[LE STUDIUM Consortium]
From 12 to 15 October 2026, Le Studium Consortium Tablature and Technology for Tomorrow (TTT) held its second meeting at the Centre for Advanced Renaissance Studies (CESR) in Tours.
Over four days, consortium members came together to review progress, share expertise and develop collaborative approaches to the study and digital representation of historical music sources.
💻 Discussions focused on several key areas:
- Let’s Encode: exploring developments and opportunities for TTT to contribute to this initiative.
- Linking lute databases: working towards greater interoperability through controlled vocabularies and shared data structures.
- The Galant repertoire: exploring connections between musical repertoires and digital databases.
- Collaborative reporting and future perspectives: consolidating the consortium’s work, identifying next steps and planning future meetings.
Through working sessions, collective discussions and dedicated writing time, participants continued to strengthen the foundations for interdisciplinary collaboration, bringing musicology and digital technologies together to support the study and accessibility of historical musical heritage.
