Embedding music in web pages

I would like to be able to embed short sections of music in web pages aongside standard text so that I can discuss the music in the text.

In an ideal world it'd even be great to edit the music in place within or near the program I use to edit the text. (I know I could produce the music examples separately and then link to images of it and recognise I may have to fall back on doing that).

All the references I see to MusicXML are about full xml files that are used to send music or as an import or export format to various programs. But:

- can I use MusicXML embedded in a web page where it will display as music?
- can MuseScore help me produce such pages or the xml to embed within them?
- can MuseScore enable to browser-based display of such embeded music. And if not is there something else that could?

Many thanks for any insights you have.
