General rules and regulations

• 
You can use the template at the following link.
• When writing the abstract, please follow the instructions at the following link.
• The submission may be supported by any attached files (e.g. scores, audio or video recordings).
• When emphasis is to be given to a particular word in the text, single quotation marks (‘ ’) can be used, avoiding italics which have another meaning in the text (e.g. titles of volumes, words in a foreign language).    

• A new paragraph must be indicated leaving a few spaces at the beginning of the line.
• 
Quoted passages of a certain length will be set in a smaller type than the text itself. It is advisable to format them in a smaller type compared to the text, without using commas. Short passages, included in the text, are to be contained within double commas on the line (« »). If these passages contain other citations these must be distinguished with double quotation marks (“ “). Eventual omissions of cited passages are to be indicated by 3 dots within square brackets [...].
• 
Notes are to be marked in chronological order: the reference numbers must be indicated as exponent, without brackets, and following any sort of punctuation.
