WedelMusic - Web DELivering of MUSICscores

WEDELMUSIC enables publishers and consumers (theatres, orchestras, music schools, libraries, music shops, musicians) to manage interactive music; that is, music that can be manipulated: arranged, transposed, modified, reformatted, printed, etc., respecting copyrights. It supports preparing performances, studying music, analysing music, learning instruments, distributing music atlow cost, etc.

The same music objects will be available for traditional media and Braille. These innovative features are possible thanks to the definition and implementation of

  • – a unified XML-based format for modelling music including audio, symbolic, image, document, etc.
  • – reliable mechanisms for protecting musicin symbolic, image and audio formats;
  • – a full set of tools for building, converting, storing, distributing music on the Internet.
