MusicXML editing

[okalinsk]

Hi,
We’re using MusicXML for a project and very happy with it.
Unfortunately, we’re missing the editing support in case of errors in the musicXML file.
We’ve seen on the website that work has already started on this feature.
Is it possible to get an alpha/beta version of the SDK that has editing support?

Thanks for the help,
Oren.

Hi Oren,

There is some support for editing in the latest SDK in the ‘Edit’ folder. This is work in progress. Please try it and let us know what you think.

with best regards

Hi James,
Thanks for the swift reply!
Our project is running on Android.
Is it possible to get the new SeeScoreLib library compiled for the Android platforms?

Thanks for the help,
Oren.

Hi Oren,

To use editing on Android I’m afraid there is much more work involved than recompiling…

There is as yet no jni interface for the large edit api (this is far from trivial) and it will need substantial java development work to make the Android sample app demonstrate editing. There is still a lot of work required to attain a reasonable demonstrable subset of generic editing on the iOS platform. Generic MusicXML score editing via a clean API is a huge thorny problem that is not going to be solved overnight! Android support will not be attempted until there is some sort of complete implementation on another (probably Apple) platform.

Sorry to bring bad news!
best regards
James Sutton
