I think that would be very wise: IMHO MusicXML gives the impression of
something well-designed and comprehensively thought-out whereas the
reality is that it is a horrendous hotchpotch of constructs singularly
unsuited to describing written notation. With its horrible going
forwards and backwards in time semantics, I doubt if it is suited to
describing music events either.
