  • Using Xml Technologies in Music
    USING XML TECHNOLOGIES IN MUSIC Gilbert Kuipers Department of Science Valley City State University Valley City, ND 58072 Phone: 701-845-7324 [email protected] Michael Good Recordare LLC P.O. Box 3459 Los Altos, California 94024 Phone: 650-965-7267 [email protected] Abstract For a variety of reasons Extensible Markup Language (XML) is rapidly emerging as a universal data standard. It is not surprising that there have been many attempts to use XML (and the earlier non-XML SGML) technologies for multimedia and for music [1]. Unfortunately there are many complex problems in the integration of music, music notation, and multimedia. Anyone can create a new XML schema or DTD. The difficulties are limiting the problem, developing a practical solution platform, implementing this solution in various applications, and having it selected by users who are often not very computer literate. If we limit the problem to an interchange format for notation, analysis, retrieval, and performance applications, MusicXML is currently the only XML language which has emerged as a practical format for use by real musicians [2]. This paper will begin with a brief overview of various data formats used for common Western music and the need for the new music interchange format. The design and use of MusicXML will be presented. Examples will show the creation of MusicXML files by entering the data directly or by scanning printed paper scores, along with the conversion of data between formats. Since XML data is tagged text data, MusicXML data can easily be analyzed, e.g. to determine the percentage of Bach’s pieces which are quarter notes or the number of C major chords in a symphony.

Music sources are most commonly shared in music scores scanned or printed on paper sheets. These artifacts are rich in information, but since they are images it is hard to re-use and share their content in todays’ digital world. There are modern languages that can be used to transcribe music sheets, this is still a time consuming task, because of the complexity involved in the process and the typical huge size of the original documents. WIKI::SCORE is a collaborative environment where several people work together to transcribe music sheets to a shared medium, using the notation. This eases the process of transcribing huge documents, and stores the document in a well known notation, that can be used later on to publish the whole content in several formats, such as a PDF document, images or audio files for example.

November has been praised for years by musicians, publishers and engravers as one of the finest and most vivid fonts ever designed for music notation programs. For use in programs such as Finale, Dorico, Sibelius or LilyPond, November 2 now includes a astonishing variety of symbols, from usual shapes such as noteheads, clefs and rests to rarer characters like microtonal accidentals, special instrument techniques, early clefs or orna- ments, ranging from the Renaissance1 to today’s avant-garde music. Based on the principle that each detail means as much as the whole, crafted with ultimate care, November 2 is a font of unequalled coherence. While in tune with the most recent technologies, its inspiration comes from the art of tradi- tional music engraving.
