This ID system is designed to make it possible to use the internal IDs used by other applications (for example, MuseScore) in MNX documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We spent a bit of time discussing the default file extension for MNX documents, and whether we would need an OCF-style container for MNX, per <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/w3c\/mnx\/discussions\/416\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">discussion #416<\/a>. Our current thinking is that we probably do not need a container, so we propose that MNX documents should have the file extension <strong>.mnx.json<\/strong>. Consuming applications can check the file extension, that the document parses as JSON successfully, and that it has a top-level <code>mnx<\/code> key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next meeting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The next meeting is the Community Group virtual meeting on <strong>Tuesday 17 March 2026<\/strong>.
