New in VexFlow!

It's been a year since I've posted anything, so how about some news?

Lots of new features in VexFlow and VexTab.

My VexFlow

We launched My VexFlow, a content publishing platform for musicians based on VexFlow. The platform allows musicians, music teachers, students to create, publish, and share content with beautiful music notation, tablature, chord charts, diagrams, etc.

Here are some strawmen that I created to show what My VexFlow can do:

• The Jazz Blues Progression
• A Descending Bebop Line

You can also embed content from My VexFlow into your own sites and blogs, just like you would a YouTube video.

Here's an example.

The above notation was created on My VexFlow, and embedded into this blog post.

A New VexTab

VexTab was overhauled once again, this time rewritten in CoffeScript and Jison. The code is much cleaner, more flexible, and more manageable.

The new VexTab is no longer just for guitarists -- it's got note/octave syntax in addition to the fret/string syntax. It also supports almost all VexFlow features, such as tuplets, rests, articulations, score symbols and modifiers, etc.

It's also moved to its own repository: github.com/0xfe/vextab

Guitar and Bass Fretboards

My VexFlow has support for guitar fretboards, which you can customize and use for descriptive diagrams.

Slash Notation

Render chord charts with rhythmic hints using slash notation. This is also handy for some drum notation.

Lots More!

This isn't all. There are score annotations, tuplets, stave annotations, etc. etc. See the complete list at: New in My VexFlow.

Experiment and enjoy!
