I founded Recordare in 2000 to develop the MusicXML music notation standard, and MakeMusic acquired Recordare\u2019s assets in 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I envisioned Recordare as an Internet music publishing company. It didn\u2019t get there on its own, but that is what we have today with the combination of MakeMusic and Alfred in Peaksware Music Brands. Meanwhile, the W3C Music Notation Community Group has provided an excellent organizational home for the MusicXML standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will be discussing plans for future leadership of the W3C Music Notation Community Group at our <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/sExTN4NfkpRsdDNM7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">annual meeting on September 15<\/a>.
