Methods, systems, and devices are described for collaborative handling of
music contributions over a network. Embodiments of the invention provide
a portal, the portal being accessible over the network by a plurality of
workstations and configured to provide a set of editing capabilities for
editing music elements. Music contributions may be received at the
portal. At least a portion of the music contributions include music
elements. In certain embodiments, the music elements have been
deconstructed from an audio signal or a score image. A number of
collaboration requests may be received at the portal over the network.
Some collaboration requests may originate from a first workstation, while
other collaboration requests may originate from a second workstation. In
response to at least one of the collaboration requests, at least a
portion of the music elements may be edited using the editing
capabilities of the portal.
