Re: MNX

I'm in process of working on a suite of tools that include

- A C++ DOM: https://github.com/rpatters1/mnxdom
- A validation program from the command line:
https://github.com/rpatters1/mnxvalidate. In addition to schema validation,
it performs (will perform) extensive semantic validation.
- I will be releasing a command line tool that exports MNX (as currently
defined) from Finale musx files. More on that very soon I hope.

I am very close to formal update releases for all three, with one of the
chief sticking points being that I should wait until the schema with the
latest committee decisions is released.
