ABSTRACT

In the past composers used to make music with classical instruments such as piano, violin,guitar, flute, drums, and other well-known tools. With the advent of digital technology manysoftware programs were developed which allow musicians to compose tunes using personalcomputers. Many file formats were introduced such as NIFF, SMDL and MIDI but none besidesMIDI has been successful. Recently MusicXML has emerged as a de-facto standard for thecomputer representation of music. This paper presents a brief description of the structure of theMusicXML format and describes the development of a music score editor based on MusicXML. Weimplemented a MusicXML-based score editing software using C# language and a feasibility testshowed the efficiency of our proposed method.
