Well so much for that.
Musicxml and most attempts at notation and xml, try to reinvent the
wheel. And a bad job of it at that.
HTML uses Element which contain data <p>hello world</p>
The musical xml formats rely on elements with attributes, ugly to say
the least and impossible for humans to write.
Here is a more logical/familar idea:
<lily><head><title>Hello World Song</title>
</head>
<score><measure>a4 b c d<measure><score>
</lily>
most xml editors will drop tags automatically, so you end up with
entering lilypond wrapped in tags.
I saw a disscussion the abc users list for abcxml, and thought that
since lily is more robust a parrallel xml version might also be a good
idea.
