Frankfurt Agenda: SVG?

Hi all,

I've just registered to come to the Frankfurt meeting on 8th April.

The notice says:
> Our proposed agenda is to discuss the group’s progress on MusicXML 3.1 
> and SMuFL 1.2, and review the notation use cases that we expect to 
> guide the group’s future work. We welcome your suggestions on changes 
> or additions to this agenda.

I'm a composer and programmer (C#, Javascript). My use-case is that I 
want to publish my scores on the web, and I want them to be performable 
there.

Briefly, my position is this:
Authoring tools should work offline, and can interact with the world via 
MusicXML etc. as they have always done.
Web integration means that such tools must be able to export scores in a 
format that can be displayed and performed in browsers.

For some years now, I've been developing my own SVG-MIDI format in which 
MIDI information is embedded in conventional chord symbols. I've written 
an off-line authoring tool (C#) [1] and performing software [2][3] 
(Javascript) that agree on this format.

My own format is too personal (and volatile) to be of general use, but 
I'm learning a lot in the process of creating it.
In particular, I think that the principle of embedding MIDI and/or audio 
information at the event-symbol level is correct. This is how my browser 
app synchronizes the graphical and temporal information during performance.

Can we put SVG on the agenda?

all the best,
James
