PyMEI README

*************** WARNING ***************

This software is still very much in the alpha stages of development.

*************** WARNING ***************

This is a Python library to read/write Music Encoding Initiative (MEI) files. While MEI is usually expressed in XML, this library abstracts the XML representation, parsing the MEI entities into Python objects. This is to allow for alternative representations to be output, e.g., a MEIXML file can be read in and converted to a JSON representation, or vice-versa.

For more information about the structure of this library and how to use it, see the wiki on the development site at http://github.com/ahankinson/pymei
