#3MusicXML is old hat. All the cool kids are using MusicJSON now.
EDIT: I'd like to clarify that I posted this comment, as a joke, before the below comment went on to clarify that there was, in fact, a JSON-based rewrite of the music standard in progress:

#4Seems like MusicXML is a great format for ML applications. You need to start somewhere and machine-readable code is important.

MusicXML seems to be more for notation and sheet music typesetting rather than algorithmic operations on the notes themselves. Sure you could train a model on it but you'd be better off doing it on the specific domain and classically translating up to the XML format.

#7I have not had much success using MusicXML to switch between different notation programs. Trying to read a score exported from Musescore as MusicXML in Sibelius or vice versa feels worse than switching between Microsoft Office and other ostensibly compatible formats.
Does anyone have any success stories?

#8I work for Sibelius so I'm heavily involved in this world. MusicXML is a great standard and offered a solid basis for data interchange between music notation programs. But now there's a new group working to build a successor standard, MNX: https://w3c.github.io/mnx/docs/
It was originally going to be in XML but they recently switched to JSON, which is a good move, I think. I can't wait for it to be adopted as it will give so much more richness to the data set.

I hear you don't want to go (Cloud)Native else you'd be using MusicYAML now.

Hopefully they will use JSON5 so comments can be included. The loss of comments when switching from XML to JSON was a disaster in other domains.
