MEI is a digital format for musical scores in the XML data structure. The acronym stands for "Music Encoding Initiative", and it is modeled after TEI, the Text Encoding Initiative.

Purpose

MEI is intended as a data representation for critical editions of music. This means that variants between different editions can be encoded within the same document. See this chapter in the MEI Guidelines for an explanation of this feature.
