Robin --

Many thanks for the information and perspective you provided. I too
thought ABC might be a good possibility; would MusicXML be an
improvement?:

FYI -- my father sent me this link to NYT article  which is *very*
interesting, not quite what i was looking for, but interesting "proof
of concept" (and indication of public interest in this sort of thing)
nonetheless....

Thank you for your interest in composing your own version of Piano
Etudes. To create your own version and share it with other readers of
The Score, a series of writings by composers on The New York Times’
Web site, follow these steps.
1. Click on an etude below to begin creating your own version.
2. Once you are happy with your version, click the sharing menu on the
left side of the screen, click the “Save and share my etude” link, and
then click the button labeled “submit to a special gallery for readers
of The Score.”

In a recent post on The Score, I invited readers to use an interactive
Web site to create and share their own unique versions of four solo
piano etudes, regardless of their background in music or in
composition. The Web site presents each etude as a graphical
“open-form” collection of short musical fragments that can be arranged
in an almost infinite number of ways.

Readers submitted nearly 100 remixes to a special gallery on the
project’s Web site. (I listened to all of them and selected my
favorite version of each etude. The pianist Jenny Lin then printed out
the scores for these four versions, practiced them, and recorded them
at Patrych Sound Studios in New York. Video clips of her performing
each one have been added below.
