Online musicxml browser

From Arnout Engelen

when publishing music, people generally publish it in C. For people who, like me, play a Bb instrument, that can be annoying.

Would be fun to have a system that allowed:

• people to upload a MusicXML file
• musicians to:
  • select one or more parts
  • per voice select transposition and clef
  • get a PDF, MusicXML or whatever generated automatically

• MusicRain does the transposition I had in mind, but not the part and staff selection. As a bonus it allows live showing and playing of the score (which is pretty impressive).

[edit] Server- or clientside

i guess doing the processing serverside is the way to go, including a renderer like lilypond and an xslt processor into a firefox extension probably isn't going to be much fun :)

[edit] XSLT

I guess a lot can be done with XSLT:

• convert the file to 'partwise' notation (if neccessary)
• get a list of parts
• extract only a few parts
• transpose a certain part
• change the clef of a certain part
• ...?
