Dear Daniel (from Simon Rodwell, Open University)
Reading your blog with great interest from time to time. Here we are working on our latest music module still relying on Sibelius Scorch for playback from our customised web delivery.
Poor us in some ways!! I am curious to know how your team is thinking through the issues of web playback and whether you are going down the lines of a music xml style player or some other route. And also whether any such player will still be solely reliant on midi data for score playback or whether there will be a way to finally integrate some rendering of sound libraries into the process. and also whether we are finally going to get a score player that plays across all platforms i.e desktop mac/pc/linux, android, ipad etc

I don't doubt you cannot tell me anything as an answer on these for all sorts of reasons - but it would be good to hear if they are being thought about in the Yamaha/Steinberg camp!!! We would dearly love to dump Scorch in favour of something that will play our webpage materials equally well on all platforms.

Great to read all this stuff anyway,
Best wishes
