Abstract
Almost every accomplishment can be retreated as an effort of teamwork and collaboration today – so can be creating and performing music. Composers, lyricists, arrangers, inter-preters, collectives, conductors, choirmasters, music teachers and students – all their con-tribution intersects at some level. There are many tools and programs available, which assist for example composers in creating the artwork, arrangers in modifying it for con-crete collective types, students in learning to play some instruments, etc. However, the circle of real-time collaboration supporting means is practically non-existent. Conductors, music teachers still do communicate all the context related notices to their mentees ver-bally, which often causes misunderstandings and information loss. This thesis presents the concept for interconnected interoperable music stand applications, which can enhance the cooperation between the musicians in the form of sharing page turns during performing, creating/sharing remarks and comments during practice sessions as well as locating retake positions fast and unambiguously, working over the air using ad-hoc based temporary networks. It is the introduction into the first phase of developing the corresponding soft-ware system (Partiture).
