Issue #278<\/a>, which describes the method to include the full score and separate instrumental parts in a single compressed MusicXML file, is complete. The next issue to be tackled will be #279<\/a>, which caters for having a concert score and transposed parts, and along with it the following additional issues will also be covered: #39<\/a>, concerning octave transpositions for instruments; #55<\/a>, for clefs that differ between concert and transposed pitch; plus #54<\/a>, which describes enharmonic spelling variation between concert and transposed pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Issue #336<\/a> concerning the placement of figured bass was also briefly discussed and the co-chairs agreed that it can be included in the scope of MusicXML 4.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pull request #194<\/a>, which removes the beamed<\/strong> element from the spec and the MNX by Example page, has been merged. Consequently, issue #193<\/a> is also now closed. This means that at present there’s no way of encoding beams in the MNX specification, and defining the specification for beaming is now covered by issue #198<\/a>, which we will return to in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The co-chairs discussed the beginnings of how beaming might be encoded and posited the creation of a new rules<\/strong> element that could house document-global rules for how the musical data in the file should be interpreted. Adrian will put together the beginnings of a proposal for how beaming could be defined as a series of rhythmic offsets into a bar (e.g. the positions at which primary beam groups should start and stop, given a nominal bar of notes of a specific duration) and we will discuss further with the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adrian has also removed beaming from the MNX Converter in the short-term, as a reflection of the current state of the MNX specification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adrian has also created issues #195<\/a>, #196<\/a> and #197<\/a>, concerning the remaining ideas that were removed from the MNX specification as part of the work to remove the concept of profiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The next co-chair meeting will be on Tuesday 13 October 2020<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" MusicXML 4.0 Issue #278, which describes the method to include the full score and separate instrumental parts in a single compressed MusicXML file, is complete.
