These public domain scores are in a non-proprietary format called MusicXML.
They are readable in any music presentation program supporting the standard
detailed at http://www.recordare.com/xml.html.

These are not MIDI files, and do require one of the following special
software packages in order to use them:

The first product in this family, the Dolet for Finale plug-in, translates
between Finale, MusicXML, and MuseData formats. It supports Finale 2000,
2001, 2002, and 2003 for Windows. Files imported into Finale can then be
saved in FreeHand MusicPad Pro format. Recordare has also developed Dolet
prototypes for a NIFF importer and MIDI exporter.

SharpEye Music Reader from Visiv saves MusicXML files. Many people regard
SharpEye as the most accurate program for converting images of sheet music
into computerized music notation.

Coda Music Technology is shipping Recordare's Dolet Light plug-in as part of
Finale 2003 for Windows. You will still need the full version of Dolet to work
with earlier versions of Finale, or to translate to additional formats such as
MuseData. Finale 2003 also imports SCORE files, providing a two-step translation
from SCORE to MusicXML.

TaBazar reads and writes MusicXML files starting with version 2.6. TaBazar is
a 10-track tablature editor and MIDI player for guitar and other stringed instruments.

Xemus Software is using MusicXML as a file format for Project XEMO, an open
source, modular environment for music notation, analysis, and composition. It
is written in Java and runs on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh OS X. Project XEMO
presented a native MusicXML Notation Viewer as part of this year's JavaOne
conference.

NoteHeads has announced that MusicXML import will be included in the upcoming
Igor Engraver 1.7 release. Igor Engraver is a notation program available on both
Macintosh and Windows.

Middle C Software is developing new music recognition software for use with digital
cameras and scanners. MusicXML has been chosen as the output format due to its
flexibility and application independence.

KGuitar is an open-source environment for guitarists, including a tablature editor,
running on Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD. Basic MusicXML support was added in the
0.4.1 release.
