The MusicXML Library
MusicXML is a
music interchange format designed for notation, analysis, retrieval,
and performance applications.
The MusicXML format has been developped by Recordare.
It is open for use by anyone under a royalty-free license. It actually constitutes the most
promising solution for music score interchange.
The MusicXML library is a portable C++ library designed close to the MusicXML format and
intended to facilitate MusicXML support.
The MusicXML library is an open source project
hosted on Source Forge.
The library provides conversion from/to memory representation and MusicXML format.
Since the format is primarily designed for interchange,
conversions to other music representation formats are going along with the library:
the GUIDO format is already supported
and corresponding conversion tools included in the library.
More information about the project is available here.
The MusicXML library originates from a work conducted by the
Grame
Computer Music Research Lab. in the
context of the IMUTUS project.
