The project aims to map the de characteristics of twentieth-century music graphic scores so as to design a digital archive to accommodate them. To do this, the work of Domenico Guaccero, an Apulian musician active between the 1960s and 1980s, was taken as a sample. After a theoretical analysis based mainly on the framework developed by Andrea Valle in his La notazione musicale contemporanea (2002), the data acquired from these scores were put into logical form. For the production of the prototype, the state of the art of archives in the cultural field, and specifically music, was analyzed, thus designing an architecture in line with the Italian REICAT cataloging rules, combined with the graphic score analysis categories developed by Kurt Stone in 1980. The result is an archive model that is heterarchical and scalable to graphic scores in general, a working and implementable prototype of which is presented with this thesis.
