This page details the key guidelines to help you prepare your final manuscript. You can find a more detailed version of the guidelines in the full author guidelines for CMMR camera-ready papers document.

Please address all relevant and manageable reviewer comments in your camera-ready paper to ensure its highest quality.

The camera-ready papers (regular and demo papers) must be prepared using the following LaTeX (recommended) or Word template, based on the Springer Verlag LNCS format:

• CMMR 2025 Camera-ready LaTeX template
• CMMR 2025 Camera-ready Word template

The final submission must be a PDF file.

The following are the page limits for camera-ready CMMR papers.

All page counts are in the Springer LNCS single-column format and exclude references.

• Demo Papers: Up to 4 pages. These papers discuss sound and music works, products, or systems, with a focus on topics such as computing, software development, artistic creation, and workflows.
• Short Regular Papers: Up to 8 pages. These present and discuss work-in-progress.
• Long Regular Papers: Up to 12 pages. These present more substantial contributions to the field.

Please provide the abbreviated author names and title in the running head of your camera-ready template:

• For LaTeX camera-ready paper templates, please fill in the placeholders “Abbreviated paper title” and “F. Author et al.” associated with the \runauthor and \runtitle commands.
• For Word camera-ready papers templates, please fill in the placeholders “Contribution Title (shortened if too long)” and “F. Author et al.” located in the header.

Page numbers are excluded as they will be added during the production of the proceedings.

The names of the authors must be final and correct before the camera-ready paper is sent. Beyond this point, it is not possible to add or alter authors’ names. Please check that all of the author information you provide is correct from the start. We encourage authors to insert their ORCIDs in superscript next to their names (please see the LaTeX and Word templates for examples).

Headings should be capitalized (i.e., nouns, verbs, and all other words except articles, prepositions, and conjunctions should be set with an initial capital) and should, with the exception of the title, be aligned to the left. Only the first two levels of section headings should be numbered.

As indicated in the templates, please complete the Acknowledgements (optional) and Disclosure of Interests sections, which are placed before your references.

Arabic numbers are used for citation, which is sequential either by order of citation or by alphabetical order of the references (preferred), depending on which sequence is used in the list of references. The reference numbers are given in brackets and are not superscript. Please observe the following guidelines:

• Single citation: [9]
• Multiple citation: [4-6, 9]. The numbers should be listed in numerical order.
• If an author’s name is used in the text: Miller [9] was the first …

Please write all references using the Latin alphabet. If the title of the book you are referring to is, e.g., in Russian or Chinese, then please write (in Russian) or (in Chinese) at the end of the transcript or translation of the title.

All references cited in the text should be in the list of references and vice versa.

If more than six authors are listed in one particular reference, this will be shortened and “et al.” will be inserted.

In order to permit cross referencing within Springer Nature Link, and between different publishers and their online databases, Springer Nature standardizes the format of the references according to the requirements for CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/).

We strongly encourage you to include DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers) in your references. The DOI is a unique code allotted by the publisher to each online paper or journal article. It provides a stable way of finding published papers and their metadata. The insertion of DOIs increases the overall length of the references section.

Your final PDF file must be uploaded via the conference CMT portal.

Please note that at least one author must be registered by the author registration deadline for the paper to be included in the conference proceedings.

For authors with multiple accepted papers, a distinct registration is required for each submission. An author with multiple single-authored papers, however, needs to register only once.
