Abstract

Watermarking allows hiding information into digital objects such as images, videos, audio files and text pages. Hidden codes can be used to demonstrate the ownership of the digital objects in case of copyright infringement verification. Most of the commonly used applications of watermark are referred to color or b/w images. In this paper, an analysis of specific innovative techniques for watermarking music scores is presented. The analysis was performed on the basis of the requirements highlighted by the user group of the European Project WEDELMUSIC. The discussion reported in this paper has been performed taking into account the skills of musicians in detecting changes in the music sheets. This work can be useful for other researchers that would like to work in this area.
