VexUI
A VexFlow Editor for creating and playing music.
Code Example
<div id="container"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
//INIT The UI
var handler = new Vex.UI.Handler("container").init();
</script>Instructions
Use your mouse to start creating music:
-
Left-click to insert current music engraving
(Left clicking with note selected on an existing note will start a chord); - Middle-click to change current engraving type: Cycles through notes, rests, bars, clefs, and back to notes;
- Scroll Mouse to change notes and rest durations, or bars and clefs types;
- Right-click on a note to open a menu with some options (ties are still not implemented).
- Hit play and listen to your music!
Motivation
Mohit Muthanna created an awesome music rendering JavaScript library called VexFlow. The only problem is that there is no "wysiwyg" editor. This project tries to achieve just that!
Contributors
Please, please! You are more than welcome to contribute. It's been such a long time since I've been able to work on this project. Maybe you can help it get better?
There is so much to do. For example:
- Toolbar needs buttons for bars and clefs. For now, the only way to change to clefs and bars is by using mouse middle button;
- Toolbar needs an area to set key and time signatures, and RPM;
- Implement ties;
- Implement mute notes;
- Add support for text;
- Much, much more!
