The TEI Special Interest Group in Music first met in 2008 at the London TEI Members Meeting. This meeting was crucial to discuss long-term goals and to establish an agenda. It was then decided that the SIG should focus on:

• bringing together users of the TEI interested in incorporating encoded music into their TEI documents or in encoding music-related documents;
• providing recommendations and examples for encoding music notation within the TEI; in particular using the XML-based Music Encoding Initiative (MEI) and MusicXML formats;
• providing recommendations on and, when possible, contributions to the development of tools for generation and rendering of encoded music;
• defining a vocabulary of elements in TEI for encoding music-related content and terminology.

If you would like to join the discussion and work towards these goals, please join the Music SIG members mailing list, which you can join here.
