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).

abcjs: Quick Editor

Image is a photo of an ipad mini showing an epub in the Books app. The short epub describes how I'm using #abcjs to render music notation for a responsive layout.

The #epub file is generated by my EDITME.html app from #markdown with abc notation fenced code blocks.

Released a couple bug fixes for abcjs. I've got a few other important ones to do, so there'll be another small release, then I'm going to modernize the build system and the start modernizing the code base.

This is to both make it easier to maintain and to (hopefully) make the build smaller.

#abcjs

Released a new version of abcjs finally! https://github.com/paulrosen/abcjs I've been trying to find a few minutes here and there to work on it, but there's too much singing and dancing going on. Whew.

I wish this was my full time job. I've got so many ideas! But on the other hand, my full time job is fun, too.

I've been working on a personal #irishtrad project lately which involves writing a lot of sheet music and I just want to mention Paul Rosen's amazing #abcjs project. If you play #irishmusic you probably know about abc notation already which allows you to dynamically create images of sheet music written in abc to embed. Talented folks have written online WYSIWYG abc editors using it and these have been very helpful as well!

abcjs: Javascript Music Library

abcjs allows web designers and programmers to add sheet music and audio to their websites using the ABC music notation standard and a tiny amount of JavaScript. The music can be animated and can be dynamically created.

Whew. Got a new version of abcjs out to work around a pretty serious Firefox 112 bug. They say it will be fixed in Firefox 113 but I can't wait that long.

Usually it is a new release of Safari that causes an emergency.

#abcjs #firefox

Whew. Got a new (minor) version of abcjs out the door. One fewer ball that I am juggling at the moment.

#abcjs #openSource #musicSoftware

Yea! The #obsidian plugin for #abcjs is now open sourced: https://github.com/orgs/abcjs-music/repositories
