SCRIPTS OR ALGORITHMS – Original and innovative computational scripts, algorithms, or implemented software associated with a musical practical application. Any of them must be accompanied by a text (.doc, .docx, or .rtf) including: a) a full description of the object of study, b) a clear description of its functionalities; and c) examples, if it is the case,  of its outputs. In the case of computational software, it must be freely available online.
