Vejvoda, Zdeněk
Since 2000, a computer database of Bohemian traditional songs and their instrumental melodies has been developed at the ethnomusicology section of the Prague branch of Institute of Ethnology of Czech Academy of Sciences.

The songs have been transcribed into nu¬merical codes and analyzed due to their tonality, melody and rhythm in relation to both their musical form and song lyrics.
