Why do I see text instead of music when I look at a MusicXML file in my browser?
In order to see a MusicXML file as music within a browser, you need to have a plug-in installed that can understand, display, and playback MusicXML files. Myriad produces a web browser music plug-in that displays, prints, and plays MusicXML files within a web browser. Currently, a web page needs to be designed to include this plug-in directly. MusicXML 2.0 has two registered media types: application/vnd.recordare.musicxml for compressed .mxl files application/vnd.recordare.musicxml+xml for uncompressed .xml files We hope that in the future, the plug-in will be able to automatically respond to these media types so that files outside of web pages will be displayed and played back automatically. It would be possible to build an XSLT stylesheet to convert MusicXML into a web-readable format, and a proof of concept for this was done by one MusicXML user. However, building a professional quality XSLT for music notation would be an extraordinarily difficult task.
