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:
 +
* opened [http://www.tei-c.org/SIG/Music/ Webspace];

* publication Guidelines for notatedMusic and recommendations for encoding texts with music notation;

* preparation and delivery of workshop for TEIMM2011: [http://www.zde.uni-wuerzburg.de/tei_mm_2011/program/workshops/#c247097 Combining Music Notation and Text – Encoding and Rendering MEI in TEI].

'''Aruspix for TEI-with-MEI rendering'''

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). A SIG webspace has been set up: [http://www.tei-c.org/SIG/Music http://www.tei-c.org/SIG/Music] and it will be hosting a TEI-with-MEI ODD and guidelines on how to use it. 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 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:


Planned 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.

People named next to tasks

  • Benjamin Bohl - BB
  • Johannes Kepper - JK
  • Elena Pierazzo - EP
  • Raffaele Viglianti - RV

Short term

  • New element for inclusion of multimedia files (RV to write feature request)
    • During the council's discussion for approving <notatedMusic>, it was suggested to work on an element to include multimedia files in TEI documents. 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.
  • Prepare a customization that integrates MusicXML in TEI via <notatedMusic> (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.

Medium term

  • Integrate TEI within MEI (RV to ask list)
    • Besides independent research, the list will be asked to contribute their views and needs.

Long term

  • Compare headers of MEI and TEI (mei:meiHead and tei:teiHeader) (JK to lead, RV, EP to help for manuscript description)
    • This may result in a ODD with <equiv>s to move from MEI to TEI and in the writing of a white paper to contribute to the expansions of TEI's manuscript description. This relates to last year's suggestions within the MSS SIG to cooperate with other SIGs for a revision of the manuscript description module.
