VexTab 2.0

A VexTab Parser for VexFlow. Copyright (c) 2012 Mohit Muthanna Cheppudira.

What is VexTab?

VexTab is a language that allows you to easily create, edit, and share music notation and guitar tablature. Unlike ASCII tab, which is designed for readability, VexTab is designed for writeability.

Go try it out at The VexTab Tutorial.

If you want to save and share your VexTab, try out My Vexflow.

Updates

VexTab 2.0 now supports all VexTab 1.0 features, and includes a few new ones.

Dependencies

This rewrite of VexTab has three key dependencies:

CoffeeScript - A nicer JavaScript.

Soundfonts for various instruments - See MIDI.js for more information.
