To facilitate editorial work, manuscript should be prepared according to the Turabian Manual for Writers; in cases of disciplinary requirement, manuscript can be prepared in APA format too. As the Turabian Manual for Writers is designed mainly for the English language, contributors can make minor changes when rules do not apply in manuscripts written in Chinese. Here are some of the general principles:

1.

Please type horizontally on A4 paper.

2.

Manuscript should be typewritten in 12-point in MingLiU and double-spaced throughout; quotations should be in KaiU. English and other Roman-script languages should be typed in 12-point Times New Roman.

3.

Chinese titles of books, journals, and musical works should be indicated by 《》, for example: 《蝴蝶夫人》, while English titles in italics, for example: Turandot.

4.

Titles of dissertations, theses, academic papers, and pieces from musical works should be indicated by 〈〉, for example: 〈固定樂思—白遼士執念的樂音實踐〉, 〈中國詩與馬勒的《大地之歌》〉、〈美好的一日〉, while English titles indicated by “ ”, for example: “New Documents on the Encounter of European and Chinese Music.” Qu Pai (Tunes for Qu) should be indicated by【】, for example: 【蝶戀花】.

5.

When proper nouns or people’s names in foreign languages appear for the first time, Chinese translations are to be followed by the original in parentheses; for Chinese and foreign names of people, birth and decease years should be indicated, for those living only the birth year. For example: 韓德爾 (George Frideric Handel, 1685-1759),　黎姆 (Wolfgang Rihm, b. 1952).
