So meanwhile I actually made a functional plugin with the following features.
- Rendering MEI, ABC, and MusicXML notation dynamically from files in the Obsidian folder (relative paths) and URLs (absolute paths).
- A download button for the rendered SVG file (the toolbar is visible when hovering the mouse over the rendered music).
- A settings menu to adjust various rendering options.
- Sound playback of the rendered music.
- Highlighting of live playback notes, synced to the sound playback (syncing is still not fully reliable, though).
- Opening the rendered file via an external editor (if you want to edit your files with one click).
- Rendering specific measure selections.
Feel free to check it out here and leave feedback. GitHub - kpaede/Verovio-Music-Renderer: This is a plugin for Obsidian that renders and plays musical notation in the formats MEI, abc and MusicXML.
Without any doubt the resonance in this thread is rather limited, I guess the whole thing is only interesting for a certain niche (musicology etc.) So I might not keep posting in here so frequently, but I’ll try to get the plugin into the Obsidian list of external plugins.
