The World-Wide Web (WWW) is currently witnessing a dramatic trend toward the incoporation of multimedia elements into on-line publishing. These elements can be very effective for communicating ideas that are difficult to explain with text alone. For the presentation of music, the WWW brings the capability of embedding audio files (recordings) into a document, thus providing audible musical excerpts in addition to textual references to selected points of interest in a musical score. However, there are technical challenges and copyright issues to be addressed when providing musical excerpts on the WWW. The research undertaken in this study brings one possible solution to these issues through the design and implementation of a hybrid system using a combination of the internet and commercially available audio compact discs.
