Verovio: A Library for Typesetting MEI [link]Urn  abstract   bibtex   1 download  
The Music Encoding Initiative defines the specifications of encoding music in XML format. While MEI is extremely powerful and promising, very few tools exist for rendering it directly into graphical music notation. Most of the solutions currently used require an intermediate step to convert it into a format that can then be processed by one existing music typesetter. This approach has the disadvantage of being complex, often slow, and needing to rely on other tools for the task, whilst losing some of MEI's features in the conversion process. Verovio is an attempt to solve this issue: it is a portable, small and fast library that is capable of interpreting MEI directly to SVG music output, without intermediate steps. Its development focuses on compatibility with the MEI specification and also on making portable code that is easily employed in different environments, from rendering of small-scale incipit to rendering long multi-page scores. The paper presents some use-case scenarios for the Verovio library.
