This release focuses on the features required for CMN scores, though it is hoped future versions will address more of MEI. To learn whether your favorite elements and attributes are supported, consult the [music21.mei module documentation](http://web.mit.edu/music21/doc/moduleReference/moduleMeiBase.html). - -The module was primarily written by Christopher Antila with assistance from Andrew Hankinson, Ichiro Fujinaga, Myke Cuthbert, and the MEI-L mailing list. Funding for this project was provided by Canada's SSHRC as part of the [SIMSSA project](http://simssa.ca "Single Interface for Music Score Searching and Analysis Project"). - -You may send questions, comments, bug reports, and feature requests to Christopher Antila [christopher@antila.ca](mailto:christopher@antila.ca), Andrew Hankinson [andrew.hankinson@mail.mcgill.ca](mailto:andrew.hankinson@mail.mcgill.ca), MEI-L [mei-l@lists.uni-paderborn.de](mailto:mei-l@lists.uni-paderborn.de), or the music21 list [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/music21list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/music21list). - -## Rendering MEI - -### MEILER - -The _MEI LilyPond Engraving Refinement_ (MEILER) is a set of XSLT stylesheets to render MEI files with help of the [LilyPond Engine](http://lilypond.org). This allows to make heavy use of the layout attributes and parameters MEI brings with it. - -Possible LilyPond output formats are PDF, PNG and SVG. It's available on [GitHub](https://github.com/rettinghaus/MEILER). You may have a look at some test files [here](https://github.com/rettinghaus/MEILER/tree/master/tests) and [here](https://github.com/rettinghaus/mei-test-set/), to get an impression of it's capabilites. Also there's a [poster](https://doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.15014.93760) available. - - - -### meiView - -_[meiView](http://zolaemil.github.io/meiView/)_ is an experimental web application designed to display 15–16th century music and provide a dynamic mechanism for the user to select which variant they want to see. - -### Verovio - -_[Verovio](https://www.verovio.org)_ is a fast, portable and lightweight library for engraving Music Encoding Initiative (MEI) music scores into SVG developed by the [Swiss RISM Office](http://rism-ch.org). It is designed as a tool usable as a one-step conversion tool and it is written in pure standard C++ with no dependencies on third-party frameworks and libraries. Verovio implements its own rendering engine, which can render SVG with all the musical symbols embedded in it and without dependency on external fonts. In addition to MEI, Verovio can also render Plain and Easy (PAE) code and DARMS code. - -A significant strength of Verovio is that it implements MEI’s structure internally, making it the best-suited solution for rendering features that make MEI unique. The hierarchy of the MEI is preserved in the SVG output. This feature makes it extremely easy to build interactive applications since both the structure and the unique identifiers are available in the output music notation. - -Since the rendering engine is defined as an abstract component, Verovio is highly modular and can be used in different contexts, such as a JavaScript or Python toolkit. Verovio follows the Standard Music Font Layout ([SMuFL](https://www.smufl.org)) specification and the font can be changed for personalizing the output. It is open-source and is available on [GitHub](https://github.com/rism-ch/verovio). - -### Music Sheet Viewer - -_[Music Sheet Viewer](http://www.partitionnumerique.com/music-sheet-viewer-wordpress-plugin/)_ is an open source WordPress plugin that allows to display one ore more music sheet fragments of full scores written in MEI, MusicXML, ABC or PAE ([RISM](http://rism-ch.org) notation), in a post or page of a WordPress site. - -The code is entered using a WordPress shortcode tag or a dedicated Block, and the resulting score is displayed as if it had been natively supported by the browser. - -It is powered by [Verovio](https://www.verovio.org) and basically, it provides many Verovio features without having to write one single line of code : all the JavaScript code is generated in the page. - -The main features are : automatic resize so as to fit to the available content, display in any [SMuFL](https://www.smufl.org) font, code entered either inline or from a file, score playback and notes highlighting thanks to an enhancement of the [RISM MIDI Player](https://github.com/rism-ch/midi-player), automatic page turn when played, responsive code. +
