[DG: Open Forum] Music Notation Display and Entry

[Mark J. Norton]

I think it would be possible to add MusicXML 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MusicXML>to a Sakai web page.  That might 
not be very interactive, but it does support description of music 
notation. A plugin might be needed for rendering, but also possible. 
HTML5 might also be required.
