Re: Two Questions from Accessible Platform Architectures (APA)

Hi Janina,

We are not planning an in-person meeting at the forthcoming TPAC in Vancouver, but we will be holding a virtual meeting and you would be more than welcome to attend. Initial details of the date and time of the meeting can be found here:

Please consider joining the CG if you haven’t already done so – it’s free. You can click the “Join or Leave this Group” button on the right-hand side here:

We have not yet specified how lyrics will work in detail in MNX, but lyrics are already fully specified in MusicXML, the existing mature format for which MNX is planned as a successor. You can see some basic information about how lyrics are encoded in MusicXML here:

Subject: Two Questions from Accessible Platform Architectures (APA)
Dear Music Notation CG:

Are you perhaps planning to meet in person during our upcoming hybrid
TPAC in Vancouver? If so, I'd appreciate some of your time to consider
whether my second item is a practical possibility! Else, perhaps we'll
just have to discuss in email. I suppose we can start via email
regardless!

The second issue regards support for lyrics in your emerging approach.
I'm particularly interested in whether you do, and if so how you manage,
lyrics in operatic ensembles where different singers are singing
different words at the same time.

I am particularly interested in any support you've considered for such
situations as I would expect your approach might be leveraged to support
accessibility in interlinear text publications.

I can say more, but thank you for reading thus far, and this is probably
the place to stop in case the opera score support isn't as elaborate as
I'm obviously hoping it is.

Thanks in advance for your attention and response,

Janina
