Obsidian for Musicologists: Integrating Music Notation (with Verovio), Academic Writing and Citation

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:

would be very happy if this helps someone—or to engage in further exchange. The use case is extremely specific, and I’m kind of tinkering away on my own…
