VexFlow MusicXML plugin

A plugin for parsing and engraving MusicXML documents in VexFlow. Thanks to @wilson428 for reorganizing the project as a plugin, so it can be worked on independently of the upstream VexFlow.

Installation

Clone this repo and install the dependencies

git clone git@github.com:mechanicalscribe/vexflow-musicxml.git && cd vexflow-musicxml
npm install

./build.js --include-vexflow

This will generate a file called vexflow.musicxml.js. To use it, all you need to do is include it.

<script src="vexflow.musicxml.js"></script>

After building the script you can see this in action at demo/index.html, though you'll need to spin up a server since the page makes an AJAX call to the XML file with the actual music in it:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080

Then head on over to localhost:8080/demo/index.html for some Moonlight Sonata rendered live in your browser.

Build options

To skip the VexFlow source and just use this as a plugin, omit --include-vexflow in the build:

./build.js

Then you'd want to do something like:

<script src="node_modules/vexflow/releases/vexflow-min.js"></script>
<script src="vexflow.musicxml.js"></script>

To include source maps:

./build.js --debug

To include Vexflow from somewhere other than node_modules:

./build.js --path=path/to/vexflow/js_file
