Supporting Music Arrangement, Ringer Assignment, and Score Preparation for Musicbell Ensembles

The authors focus on arrangement and practice support of musicbell ensembles. The repertories for musicbells often have to be arranged by non-expert directors. The authors developed a support software which reduces trial-and-errors and saves time in the arrangement work. The software can also generate scores for ringers who are not familiar with music. The authors were able to make a score which musicbell ensembles could perform, with the support of the software. And it managed to be almost the same as the score arranged by an expert at which the authors aimed.
