Fwd: Music notation and Digital Publishing at TPAC

Guys,

We have a new member at W3C, Hal Leonard. They are not yet officially member of the IG, so they could not post this mail directly on the list, so I serve here as a conduit...

I see music notation markup as a parallel use case to mathematical markup in many ways, and I noted that you have a task force for STEM looking at declarative formats in science/tech/engineering/math. (If you’ve encountered the acronym “STEAM” - the "A" standing for Arts - this maps perfectly onto my thinking. I’m broadly interested in infusing EPUB standards with an awareness of artistic content.) Perhaps some members of that task force might be particularly interested.

We have a short segment Tuesday afternoon in our Audio group meeting [1] devoted to music notation; in addition, I’ve proposed a breakout session for Wednesday [2] that will focus on music notation markup with somewhat more time to spend. But some informal conversation would be nice too!
