Hey, after recently creating my first custom plugin Verovio-Music-Renderer to solve the problem of musical notation within Obsidian, I’ve now put together a small tutorial on how I, as a musicologist, work with Obsidian. The tutorial covers:
An introduction to live rendering, playback, and external editing of musical notation with the Verovio-Music-Renderer.
Using musical fonts for musical glyphs and ligatures inline.
Introducing some other musical plugins that I find useful.
Explaining how I connect all of that with an efficient citation workflow using Zotero.
the result cool look like this, for example:
This is really awesome work! I can’t wait to get going and will certainly use it!! I am a music theory lecturer and discovered Obsidian about a year ago and am still a newbie. I am working on a semantic network of music related concepts and am delving into music related knowledge representation. Sounds awful maybe but it’s great fun and rewarding. Thanks again for your beautiful work. Kind regards, WIebe Buis, Leeuwarden NL.
Thanks, I’m glad if it’s useful to people from the same niche!
(By the way, the Zotero-Sidebar-Stuff from the tutorial might temporarly not work until the Zotero extension is updated by the developer to work with Zotero 7.)
Just wanted to share: the Verovio plugin now can render MEI, MusicXML and abc from code blocks (and not just from files and web URLs). Also there’s page turning now – and note highlighting is finally more reliable.
Last bigger update for a while: There’s a side panel now where you can live-edit your musical code while its rendering is updated live. When working with MEI code, you can also click on a note and it will to the line of code where it’s written in the side panel.
Support for PAE (Plaine & Easie Code) is also added; it’s a great way to sketch music without dig too dep into complicated musical code.
