	4. Extra Credit. Alter the contents of the MusicXML file in the word processing program. For example change the word "snow" to something else, add another verse change the pitch of the note, add an accidental or articulation such as a staccato or fermata. Save a PDF or screenshot of the graphical music after you load the file back into Finale. Also try breaking the file such as removing an angle bracket on the <note> tag for the note connected to the word "snow". What happens when you load the file back into Finale? If you use another music editor or processor which imports MusicXML, load your altered file into that program and see what happens.		4. In a paragraph or so, comment about the experience of typing in the musical examples on a computer keyboard. Have you done that in Finale or another music editor before? How does this compare to entering music in the [[Guido]] lab? If you regularly use a graphical music editor, how do you usually enter music. Which way is more efficient? With practice and equal expertise in both methods, which would be more efficient?

			1. Enter the 3 example pieces of music above.

			2. When finished, save each example as a MusicXML file. To do this in Finale 2012, go to File->Export->MusicXML... and save as a "MusicXML 3.0" file.

			3. Open the Mary Had a Little Lamb music from its MusicXML file in a text edtor (vi, TextEdit, WordPad, MS Word, etc.). Find the word "snow" and extract the <note> which contains it. For example here is a MusicXML <note> (not the same one):

			<note default-x="83">
			<pitch>
			<step>G</step>
			<octave>4</octave>
			</pitch>
			<duration>2</duration>
			<voice>1</voice>
			<type>quarter</type>
			<stem default-y="5.5">up</stem>
			</note>

			Look at the graphical music for the note for the word "snow". What does each of the note parameters such as <pitch>, <step>, <duration>, etc mean? How many parameters are their (including the parameter which holds the word "snow". What is the name of the parameter which contains the word "snow"?

			4. Extra Credit. Alter the contents of the MusicXML file in the word processing program. For example change the word "snow" to something else, add another verse change the pitch of the note, add an accidental or articulation such as a staccato or fermata. Save a PDF or screenshot of the graphical music after you load the file back into Finale. Also try breaking the file such as removing an angle bracket on the <note> tag for the note connected to the word "snow". What happens when you load the file back into Finale? If you use another music editor or processor which imports MusicXML, load your altered file into that program and see what happens.

			5. In a paragraph or so, comment about the experience of typing in the musical examples on a computer keyboard. Have you done that in Finale or another music editor before? How does this compare to entering music in the [[Guido]] lab? If you use a graphical music editor, how do you usually enter music. Which way is more efficient? With practice and equal expertise in both methods, which would be more efficient?
