[MEI-L] Music21 MEI support

[Byrd, Donald A.]

For years Michael Cuthbert, the leader of the Music21 project, and I 
have been exchanging e-mail, mostly about demanding features of music 
notation but occasionally about things like visualizations of music, 
especially coordinated visualizations, which we're both very interested 
in. I like his ideas a lot, e.g., the fact that (or so he's told me) he 
tells his students that "if a feature is in Don Byrd's [Extremes of 
Conventional Music Notation]list, we have to at least try!" ...okay, I 
may be a little biased about that :-) . Anyway, what I've seen of 
Music21 is impressive.
