I don't think it's the right thing for dynamic music creation though. I'm not quite sure what you are looking to do but if you wanted to create the music dynamically, I might render them in Lilypond, chop them into tiny bitmaps and then render them within the Canvas, using some custom positioning logic in Javascript. By the way... I hope you are aware that the Javascript language has almost nothing to do with Java?! That said, I don't know how tricky your logic is. Chris
