The text structures of notes and publications in music theory and musical analysis bring challenging requirements: how to include music notation excerpts, graphics, and even combinations thereof, into the typeset flow of paragraphs and into the work-flow, and how to integrate navigable references to these and to single domain entities into running text.
Furthermore, dynamic interactive documents can be useful for presenting complicated interdependencies to the reader more clearly, far beyond conventional paper publication.
The mulitNotes text architecture and processing pipeline is based on d2d and standard technologies (XSLT, ECMAScript. LilyPond, PostScript, etc.) and addresses these issues.
An overview about the software architecture and its operation is
