SVG is a graphics format that bases on XML . I see two applications of SVG in musical notation:
SVG is defined by the World Wide Web Consortium
SVG is a prefered format for pictures anc vector graphics in wikipedia.org und wikibooks.org As soon as music notation programs and midi programs can export single measures and tablatures as SVG files, this files could be used as high quality files in many wiki projects.
If you know music notation programs that export to SVG, please let me know. Several people expressed interest in this topic.
There are so many SVG resources on the Web, I can't list them all.
There is a change in the SVG draft of 29 June 2000:
Made the 'unicode' attribute on the 'glyph'
element #IMPLIED to allow for definition of
glyphs which do not have corresponding code
points in Unicode. Such glyphs can only be
accessed via the 'altGlyph' facility.
This is good especially for music notation symbols, since the UNICODE people don't want graphical symbols inside UNICODE: Unicode is for symbols that are used in a text line. This is what the symbols 1D100 - 1D1FF are intended for. These symbols are not intended for notation symbols that are placed 2-dimensional in a graphical music notation editor.
