Details: In September 2019 we started a new project at cemfi, "Music Performance Markup: Infrastructure for a Data Standard for Musical Performance Modelling". Throughout the next 3 years we will develop the Music Performance Markup format (MPM), comprehensive schema definition, documentation, and several software tools to work with this format, make performance analyses and create expressive MIDI/audio renderings.

The schema definition, currently under development and incomplete, is available at . A fully-fledged API and rendering engine is already implemented and available as part of the MEI converter framework meico ().

The project is funded by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation.
