That’s because you don’t have a space before your table.

Put an extra line break after “Example: D Major” and it should work. I tested in reading mode, and in an exported PDF, and it works.

Keep in mind that in Markdown, if you didn’t have Obsidian’s special “Strict line breaks” turned off, this wouldn’t even render as a separate line. You need that break to end the paragraph.

Example: D Major

|D| |E| |F♯| |G| |A| |B| |C♯| |D|
|-|-|-|-|--|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|--|-|-|
|1|W|2|W|3 |H|4|W|5|W|6|W|7 |H|8|
