In the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, London was fast becoming a thriving musical center. Music was beginning to be considered a business, with regular public and commercial concerts and a flourishing music publishing industry. Devised to provide a means of examining these developments in England's musical life, the Register of Music in London Newspapers, 1660-1750 made available an electronic edition of texts in newspapers that referred to music. The author describes two different methods of analyzing the texts contained in the Register of Music that were used to overcome the limitations of its free text format and allow a more detailed study of commercial concert giving in London between 1660 and 1750: (1) textual decomposition and relational data analysis and (2) content analysis
