Beautifully Rendered Music Notation With HTML5

Posted by timothy on from the pretty-printing-for-piano dept.

An anonymous reader writes "This is incredible. This guy has built a music notation engraver entirely in JavaScript, allowing for real-time music editing right in the browser. Here's a demo. The library has no external dependencies, and all the glyphs, scores, beams, ties, etc. are positioned and rendered entirely in JavaScript."

    Surely this is just a tool for the copyright infringement of the RIAA's music?

      That would be ASCAP. Almost as equally evil. They had a stultifying effect on country music for a long time, don't know about other genres.

      I wrote a song about it, but my dog ran off in my pickup truck with my wife, and now I'm crying tears into my beer because the song was in the glove box.

    And here I was hoping they'd do the obvious and give us beautifully rendered Rickroll tabulars.
