The Index of New Musical Notation was a research project formed in 1971 in New York City by music editor and writer Kurt Stone to bring unity and standards to modern music notation. The Index developed out of a committee at the Music Library Association and was housed and administered by the Music Division at the Library of the Performing Arts, New York Public Library. The records contain office files and materials relating to the three main projects of the Index, the original notation indexing project, its sponsorship of the International Conference on New Musical Notation in Ghent, and the Questionnaire on New Musical Notation. The collection as a whole demonstrates the development of methods for researching, categorizing, and establishing a more universal lexicon of musical notation.
