Although what I said was valid, I want to retract my proposal to make ABC
be XML compatible.
One look at MusicXML (see http://www.recordare.com/stanford.html )
convinced me that using XML would sacrifice too much of the clarity and
usability of ABC.
for instance, this is one note in MusicXML.........
<note>
<pitch>
<step>B</step>
<alter>-1</alter>
<octave>4</octave>
</pitch>
<duration>1</duration>
<type>eighth</type>
<stem>up</stem>
<beam number="1">end</beam>
