Hi Samuel, You said: > For UC5, we could add support to custom music notation element based on > font-files ? I think this is a way that Sibelius or others achieve this, > no ? (Also, browsers are allready able to load custom font in CSS3 with > @font-face elements). Forgive me if I haven't understood you correctly, but I think that graphics should be kept very strictly out of the audio specifications. SVG uses @font-face to load custom fonts, so the audio group should not have to worry about that. Sibelius will have to write SVG if they want to create files which are both displayable and interactive in browsers. Maybe they can already -- I don't know. You also said > We could also have pitch-shift and timestrech effects, which are very > usefull while putting samples together on a specific tempo using a DAW. Reading this, it occurred to me that it would be possible to include non-midi instructions in SVG files too. I've been embedding MIDI, but information special to a particular Javascript synthesizer could easily be used instead. There's no real reason why virtual synthesizers have to support MIDI. best, James -- www.james-ingram-act-two.de
