My use-case is that I want > to publish my scores on the web, and I want them to be performable there. > That use case is definitely covered, but there will of course be some discussion of what the term "scores" includes. So I hope you will attend the meeting. > 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? > There's no formal agenda governing what can or cannot be discussed -- please bring this topic to the meeting.
