I always had issues to the different ways of editing and saving music around. For that reason, it has always been an idea to use [[Obsidian]] to do it, but the existing plugins never seemed enough for what I needed. On [[2026-03-17]] I started developing an [[Obsidian]] plugin that renders guitar tablature and standard music notation from `vextab` code blocks. Built on top of [[VexTab]] (v4.0.5) and [[VexFlow]] v5, it turns plain-text tab notation into clean SVG that adapts to whatever theme is active. The plugin also ships with a visual tab editor (an [[Obsidian]] Modal) that lets me compose tabs by clicking on a 6-string grid instead of writing VexTab syntax by hand, and a simple Web Audio playback engine to hear what the tab sounds like. Most importantly, I made it fully compatible since day one with [[Obsidian Publish]], which lets me keep on my idea of [[Working in Public|working in public]] and [[Tend the Digital Garden|tending the Digital Garden]] with different guitar exercises I may find useful.
