MX Navigator: An Application for Advanced Music Fruition

This paper describes an application that allows an advanced fruition of music contents. Thanks to our music XML format, namely MX (IEEE PARI 599), and to the interface provided by such application, users can enjoy music from different points of view: it is possible to navigate different scores, video and audio performances of the same piece; besides, each content type can be used as the leading media to keep all the other related contents synchronized. The working application has been installed at the exhibition "Tema con Variazioni" (December 2005 - January 2006), organized by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritages and held in Rome
