Mei-friend is a friendly, zero-install, browser-based MEI editor for music encodings, with schema-based autocompletion, GitHub integration, keyboard shortcuts, an easy to use look-up interface to the MEI Guidelines, and other goodies. All the tools listed here are open-source and freely available.

Some of them are full software applications, but many of them are libraries, modules or stylesheets to be integrated into larger software environments. They can serve a whole range of purposes, from data creation or conversion to rendering or analysis. The MEI community provides a wide range of tools for working with MEI data.

The source code for the customization service itself is available on GitHub We provide an online customization service that makes it easy to generate a schema (or other output formats) from an MEI source file and a customization file. This can be desirable when doing developments or experiments with the schema but in can also be used in “production” for projects that have very specific needs for features that are not expected to be included in “out-of-the-box” MEI. On the other hand, a customization can also be useful for extending the schema in order to include features not already available in MEI. This customization will disable all the functionality contained in MEI for representing other types of notation (tablature, mensural, or neume). A customization can be used to disable existing features of MEI in order to obtain a schema validating only a subset of the original schema, for example, a customization for validating MEI documents containing only common Western music notation (CWMN). The MEI schema can be customized for various needs. The MEI Encoding Tools repository contains a number of tools for working with MEI-encoded files. The intent is to demonstrate the use of MEI in real-world contexts. The MEI Sample Encodings repository contain a wide range of MEI-encoded music files. That said, I would like to give Denemo a decent try and see what it can do.This MEI repository contains all the source code of the core MEI Schema. If I weren't working on so many different things at once, I'd probably use Frescobaldi. I do all my work in emacs so it makes sense to do so with Lilypond. Personally, I just use emacs (a standard text editor/development environment) with its Lilypond mode. This doesn't mean Denemo doesn't work really well, of course. I haven't seen anyone mention Denemo on the list. I don't use Denemo and have never really used itĪmong the active users on the official Lilypond mail list, Frescobaldi is very popular. I see that their last new release was just over a year ago which isn't bad. Denemo tries to provide a gui frontend like Finale, Sibelius and Musescore but combine that with the superior engraving capabilities of Lilypond.įrescobaldi is a text editor built for Lilypond that has a built-in previewer and does all the kinds of things (syntax highlighting, etc) you'd expect from a developers environment and then adds all sorts of user friendly things like wizards and templates.ĭenemo is a far more ambitious project which means it also is going to move slower, in general. The programs take very different - opposite, even - approaches.
