I made a little Grist widget that displays music using ABC notation via ABCjs

I did an update to https://editor.drawthedots.com to add syntax highlighting to the textarea. It is kind of scary since there are so many moving parts but it seems to work for me so far. I made it opt-in (you have to click "options" and a checkbox).

Did you know that Music Blocks has a feature to generated visual code from text-based ABC notation?

Last year, Abhijeet Singh developed a way to take ABC notation and transform it into musical code you can use in your Music Blocks (MB) projects. Need a little inspiration? You can now drag and drop some ABC notation from their website into MB.

After only 4 hours of sleep last night and in an attempt to not sleep at my desk, I was looking at trying out @joplinapp for my notes (till I can understand how to set up Emacs on multiple devices efficiently) because I wanted to start writing notes on my Music learning.

During a cursory investigation, I found it has an extension for ABC Notation (https://abcnotation.com/) and fell down that interesting rabbit hole.

I used to transcribe a bunch of video game music [and a few others that caught my interest] to #ABCnotation to post on StarBards.net and play in bands on their Starbound server. Here's one I transcribed by hand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQPOpEJRE7o

I still have most of what I uploaded, and I feel like getting back into it (though not for Starbound) as a hobby. The only one I know that I'm missing is the G Free ~ Final Dream one I never finished.
