This is a fork of @mechanicalscribe's fork of VexFlow-Musicxml that adds support for loading MusicXML documents.
This fork adds the functionality of choosing render type, i.e. canvas or svg.
To specify it, just specify canvasType when calling draw, available options are canvas and svg
VexFormatter.draw(content, {canvasType: 'canvas'});Clone this repo and install the dependencies
git clone [email protected]:yodahuang/vexflow-musicxml.git && cd vexflow-musicxml
npm install
This will install VexFlow and a few build dependencies to node_modules. To build the plugin, just run the build script:
./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.
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
