In this paper we introduce a symbol-dependent approach for identifying the writer of old music scores, which is based on two symbol recognition methods. The main idea is to use the Blurred Shape Model descriptor and a DTW-based method for detecting, recognizing and describing the music clefs and notes. The proposed approach has been evaluated in a database of old music scores, achieving very high writer identification rates. %U http://www.isical.ac.in/~icfhr2010/Accepted_papers.html %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/ICFHR.2010.104 %P 634-639
