It is intended to be extensible to coverage of the requirements of early music and to less-standard notation needs of twentieth and twenty-first century scores. MusicXML can represent both classical and popular music. It is based on the Extensible Markup Language (XML).
MusicXML is a format for representing common Western music notation from the seventeenth century onwards (Good, 2001a).
We discuss future directions, including the evolution of MusicXML from an interchange format to a distribution format. As of November 2005, fifty applications have shipped or announced support for the MusicXML format, making it the first widely adopted format for symbolic music representation since MIDI. Current uses include the import and export of music notation files, the acquisition of scanned images of music, the support of digital music stands, and various applications in music education and research.
