Verovio

Verovio is a fast, portable and lightweight open-source library for engraving Music Encoding Initiative (MEI) music scores into SVG.

Verovio follows the Standard Music Font Layout specification, which makes it easy to change the music font for personalizing the appearance.

Basic usage

For typesetting an MEI file with the default options, you need to do:

verovio -o output.svg Hummel_Concerto_for_trumpet.mei

If you use a version locally that is not installed, do not forget to add the -r parameter:

./verovio -r ../data -o output.svg Hummel_Concerto_for_trumpet.mei
