The Myriad Music Plug-In (MMP) enables you to build Web pages in
which music will be played or displayed.
Music files are ".mus", ".myr" or ".mu3" files created with Melody Assistant or Harmony Assistant.
MusicXML and Packed MusicXML files are also managed.
Since the plug-in uses the same sound database as Melody/Harmony,
you are sure the result is what you expected.
Much more, it provides a digital quality output but files are short
(so fast to be downloaded).
You can manage several parameters to change the Plug-in
display.
Here are different examples of how the Plug-In can appear:
Standard buttons (Moon look):
Icon buttons (Ocean look)
Icon buttons with big title, blue background:
Very shrinked interface:
Minimal vertical interface:
Score display.
Changes
Version 5.4.5: Color themes
Version 5.4.4: Lecter, page rotation, play selection.
Version 5.4.2: Mixer, list of files.
Version 5.4: Views and metronome management, MusicXML file
format.
From version 5.2 (March 2006) the default look is SHADOW.
If there is not enough space to display menu with this look, the
MOON look is automatically enabled.
The menu language can be selected as well as the scrollbar
colors.
How to use the Myriad Music plug-in:
In your web page source, insert these HTML commands:
Where "mymusic.mus" is a file you located at the same level as
the web page itself.
You can use Jukebox options in Melody or Harmony to generate
automatically a web pages with a list of music pieces.
You can add other commands to customize the plug-in.
Commands can be written in upper or lower case.
Page setup fits automatically adapted the current printer page
size. If the document was created with Harmony you can coarse the
original page size by defining a fixed paper size (Score>Paper
size setup>Use instead)
Be aware:
- Music file names are case-sensitive: "MyMusic.mus" will not be
found on your remote server is the file is actually called
"mymusic.mus".
- Music files must be uploaded in Binary mode.
- Each of the parameters you want to be processed by the plug-in
(src, type...) has to be written twice:
. Once in the "param" command for the "object"
tag (Internet Explorer compatibility)
. Once as a parameter for the "embed" tag
(compatibility with other browsers)
The "height" and "width" values have even to be written a
third time, as a parameter for the "object" tag.
Security, copyright
When making a music available on your web page, please ensure you
do own all the required rights.
In no case, Myriad can be considered as responsible for any
violation of copyright laws.
All music pieces are published under your own responsibility.
It is recommended to save your files in "compact mode" (see general
setup). The file will be shorter and encrypted.
You can protect your file (FileMenu>Protect) to disable the use
of some features on the downloaded file: print, save, tempo change
and transpose buttons are not available if the document is
password-protected by its creator. There is no legal way to
activate these features.
