Hi Daryll,

I wasn't aware of the project, thank you very much for bringing it to my
attention!

I fear that on a technical level (the XML schema they are using to
represent music) they have fallen into some traps regarding how music
should be represented. See e.g.:
http://lilypond.org/web/about/automated-engraving/problem-statement

... and compare the "how not to do it" pretend XML examples with the
actual syntax used by MEI ... :-(

Best wishes,

-- Joe
