Musical Scores API for Android and iOS? [closed]

Question

I'm looking for an API that will generate a musical scores from MIDI file. I tried to search but I couldn't find one.

I'm trying to create an application for iOS and Android that will display a musical notes from piano/organ or midi file.

Should you have any suggestions please let me know it is much appreciated.

Answer 1

iOS:

Ugh, aren't we all. There's no good objective-c midi libraries (generation or reading) that I've come across, and the music XML examples are all in c++. However, there are TONS of c and c++ libraries dealing with MIDI. For portability's sake, I recommend middl: http://code.google.com/p/middl/

Android:

Though I've no experience with java, I hear the jFugue library brought up as an answer to every midi and java related question, so here it is: http://www.JFugue.org/

Others:

There are two collections of c++ libraries for musical score typesetting, both operate as vector-graphics libraries, but Lilypad is MUCH larger and more complete than Belle-Bonne-Sage:
