Music Markup Language
{{short description|XML based music description language}}
{{distinguish|text=Music Macro Language, a computer music notation format which is not an application of XML}}
Music Markup Language (MML) was an early application of XML to describe music objects and events.{{r|Steyn-2002}} MML pioneered features commonly used in later music markup formalisms, such as the IEEE 1599 standard. These features included the use of XML as a foundation; the ability to describe a musical object or event comprehensively (as opposed to merely providing a machine-readable format for a traditional musical score, or for a determinate sound recording of one performance); and the division of this comprehensive information into modules (often termed layers in later work), with separate modules for metadata, lyrics, notation, sound, and performance.{{r|Barate-Haus-Ludovico-and-Presti-2016}}{{r|Barate-and-Ludovico-2016}}{{r|Ludovico-2008}}{{r|Ludovico-2009}} MML makes it possible to state relationships among written syllables, phonemes, notes in traditional musical notation, pitch, and rhythm in a flexible and extensible way.{{r|George-2005|p=222–223}}
