This looks totally awesome: http://www.vexflow.com/ It is "an open-source web-based music notation rendering API. It is written completely in JavaScript, and runs right in the browser. " Music tabs or staves are written in a markup language and rendered by the JS thingy. I'm wondering if it could be worked into dokuwiki, perhaps as a plugin, to make a music editing wiki. Ya think? ./Tony
Not sure if you're aware of my *ABC plugin* [https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:abc]? It is also a music notation plugin, but uses PNGs (created in the backend, by a script) instead of SVGs and/or canvas (created in the frontend, by JavaScript). But I planned to implement *abcjs* [http://code.google.com/p/abcjs/] into it for a while now.
abcjs works very similar to VexFlow, it also creates an SVG with JavaScript. Advantages: It uses the much better known ABC notation, and it also creates a MIDI file on the fly. Disadvantages: It doesn't look quite as nice as VexFlow, and it doesn't support tabs (yet).
