3) This looks like a variety of incipit, some of which contains notes in addition to the original clef, key, and time signatures. Perhaps we could add an <incipit> element to the <attributes>, indicating that what is displayed in this measure is an incipit? Suggestions are most welcome! The problem ...
I think many people have been looking for a solution for displaying notated scores or incipits from within their own code. About a 1.5 years ago I found a Visual Basic control for displaying notated scores within a window. Although it was not trivial writing the program (it was a viewer for Humdrum/...
About a year ago there were many discussions here about creating SVG graphics of music notation, converted from MusicXML. A lot of people here helped me get through some problems creating the SVG output for my thesis. I'm now reprinting the thesis, and am trying to improve the graphics. In order to ...
Did I miss something? What is MRO? Are we getting close to a conversion from MusicXML to SVG? That would be really exciting (I realize that the program I wrote for creating SVG files for my thesis model output is very primitive, and does not deal with SMNP). Jane Quoting Brian Grainger : On the SVG ...
Thanks Brian. This looks very interesting (and again, from Apache). Interestingly they use XPath and not XQuery as the query language. Jane Does this mean that all the XML files are simply stored "as is" and something like XQuery is used to find things? No indexes? It sounds very inefficient. No, XM...
I forgot to refer to this point of Brian's: Myself, I've never used it, so I can't offer any comment. What type of database are you looking at...a standard SQL database, an XML database, a hybrid? The problem is that I really don't understand what an "XML database" is. Does this mean that all the XM...
Hi Brian, In the SVG files being output from my SharpEye converter, I use a <metadata> element to hold information about the document itself. An example of this using RDF and Dublin Core follows, cut and pasted directly from the W3C SVG site:- This sounds good, except that the <desc> tag is within t...
Hi Michael, I followed the links below but I don't think I found what I was looking for. The link that finally linked to the MAX 2002, all the pages and links were about the "upcoming" conference in Sept. 2002. I couldn't find your paper. The examples on the two pages below seemed to more about anal...
I tried at one point to convert some Polish MusicXML files with Dolet and became rather discouraged, to put it mildly. It seemed to me at the time that Finale was limited to a few fonts and character sets. That is, if you did succeed in converting the Polish characters, it would only work on a Windo...
