[MEI-L] HTML5 Music Notation

[Byrd, Donald A.]

Actually, Geoff Chirgwin, who's one of our students here at IU as well 
as a programmer for Noteflight (the new web-based notation program I 
mentioned in Detmold), has worked on something along these lines. I'll 
cc him. Geoff, would you care to add some details of what you've done? 
(I suspect I'll have to forward it to the list for you.)
