MusicXML 2.0 DTD Index
The MusicXML™ document type definition is divided into several files, as listed here. The Partwise and Timewise files are the top-level DTDs for musical scores. The Opus file represents collections of works. The Container file is used with compressed MusicXML 2.0 files, and the container.dtd file contains information about the compressed file format. There is also a separate DTD for representing Standard MIDI Files in XML.
Most browsers today do not display raw DTD files properly, so we have included HTML versions of each MusicXML DTD for ease of reference. You may also download all the DTDs in a single Zip file.
The MusicXML DTDs are distributed under the MusicXML Document Type Definition Public License 2.0.
For a description of recent changes, please see the MusicXML Version History. For a listing of all the features in the MusicXML 2.0 format, please see the MusicXML Alphabetical Index.
