[MusicTlk] Question about XML music files

[Ella Yu]

XML files are actually quite difficult to find, as they're in 
relatively low demand.  When you refer to "popular music", are 
you referring to the
popular music genre or are you referring to well-known music in 
any genre? The example you cited is classical music.

Subject: [MusicTlk] Question about XML music files

This is a question to everyone on the list.

I’d like to know if there are existing libraries with popular 
music that we can access that contains pre-built music files in 
XML format.

For those that may not know, XML is a computer data format used 
to store documents as a series of data attributes.  Each aspect 
of a piece of music would be represented as an attribute in this 
format (rests, whole notes, time signatures, accents, phrasing, 
etc…).  A computer program could read such an XML file (say for 
example, Chopin’s Nocturne in Eb Major #9).  After reading the 
XML file, such a program could then graphically render the music 
on a computer screen.

To do this, a library of music would need to be built which a 
person could download from.  It would probably be a subscription 
service.  Having downloaded the XML music file, computer software 
would then perform the graphical rendering.

What I’m looking for is a library that is already preloaded with 
XMl formatted music files.  Anybody know anything about this?

Thanks
