Co-chair meeting minutes: January 18, 2023

MNX

The co-chairs discussed at length the feedback we have received so far concerning our proposal to adopt JSON as the format for MNX documents in future. We consider the issue still open, and welcome further feedback from the community. Please catch up with the existing discussion in issue #290 and discussion #291, and add your feedback to the discussion thread rather than the issue.

As a next step, Adrian is going to prepare one or two MNX documents in JSON format so that the community can see some concrete examples of how a non-trivial MNX document will look in JSON. We are also going to investigate the different possibilities for JSON schemas, and will create a basic JSON schema to demonstrate validation for MNX documents.

Adrian has also updated the MNX specification to reflect the recent decision to encode sounding pitch rather than written pitch in MNX documents.

MusicXML

Myke is currently investigating the status of the musicxml.org domain, which has been offline for some time.

Next meeting

The next co-chair meeting is scheduled for Wednesday 1 February 2023.
