Having created your scores, you'll need to store them on your web server where they can be accessed by our servers.
When it is time to [publish your scores](05 Publishing scores.md) then you'll refer to each score by it's URL.
Media / mime types
It's important you serve your score files with the correct media type:
| File extension | Description | Required media type |
|---|---|---|
.sco |
Encrypted Sibelius score | application/x-sibelius-score |
.sib |
Sibelius score | application/x-sibelius-score |
.mxl |
Compressed MusicXML | application/vnd.recordare.musicxml |
.xml |
Uncompressed MusicXML | application/vnd.recordare.musicxml+xml |
.pdf |
application/pdf |
Note: media type is the same thing as mime type or content type - the terms are effectively synonymous, so don't let that confuse you!
