As a follow up of his presentation, Laurent Pugin showed the model of his application [http://www.aruspix.net/ Aruspix] that he adapted to be a component of the rendering process of a TEI-with-MEI document. The mensural notation of the example shown is rendered to SVG; it has been suggested to extend the rendering engine to common notation, of which Aruspix already support basic components.

This project is due to completion by the end of this year (2010).

When this will be available, we will encourage comments and contributions: we are hoping that the publication of these guidelines and ODDs will be a starting point for discussion more than a definitive set of recommendations.

The second feature request asks for the '''introduction of a new element to mark where music notation occurs in the text''', provide a description and link to an external representation of the music notation if necessary. The current proposal suggests tei:music, with a @type with two recommended values: "notation" and "sound". The participants to the meeting and the members on the list have been encouraged to contribute to the discussion of this feature request.

TEI Music SIG Meeting 15 October, 2011, Würzburg, Germany

>Main page of the Music SIG wiki

The SIG meeting took place at the annual TEI gathering, which this year was in Würzburg, Germany. The SIG met for one hour and a half, during which RV briefly reported on activities since the last meeting; then the group worked together towards determining new short- and long-term activities.


Report on this year's activities

The SIG has mainly been busy completing the work left-over from last year around the introduction of the new element tei:notatedMusic and the encoding of texts containing music notation. Work completed:


New activities

Having completed work on the TEI grant, the SIG is at the end of a project and needs to establish new work to pursue the SIG's agenda. The following are some ideas that were discussed during the meeting.

Short term

  • New element for inclusion of multimedia files (RV to write feature request)
    • During the council's discussion for approving notatedMusic, it became evident the need for an element to include multimedia files. We will open a feature request to continue this conversation. This element could be called media or perhaps it is necessary to create a new overarching class to include also <graphic/>; NB next council meeting is on Nov 5th.
  • Integrating MusicXML in TEI via notatedMusic (should be quick job; RV + BB)
  • Prepare a page on the Wiki that lists projects relevant to the SIG's aims and ask for contributions on the list (ALL)
    • Besides the obvious usefulness of such list, this is partly with the aim of encouraging more conversation on the list.

Long term

  • ODD + white paper for comparing headers (JK, RV, EP)
  • TEI within MEI > involve list (RV)
