Description: The Music in TEI SIG seeks to bring together users of the TEI who are interested in incorporating encoding for music into their TEI documents.

The goal of the SIG is to examine the current possibilities for encoding both the physical representation of music and the aural common elements between different notation systems, and to decide on a preliminary recommendation/agenda for music encoding in the TEI, whether directly via adoption of new elements or by importing a recommended namespace from an existing external schema.


 * Encoding western music notation from all time periods, from ancient through modern.
 * Encoding not only the music notation, but the aural aspects common to different notation systems.
 * Encoding music and text together as well as music on its own.
