I monitor the Dokuwiki* mailing list and today an interesting question
came up. A user was trying to set a song with guitar chords over the
relevant notes, but proportional text was destroying his formatting. A
couple of solutions were proposed: override the proportional text (which
needn't concern us here) or use an ABC plugin. The latter hasn't been
maintained for years.
This got me thinking! Wikipedia has the <score> markup, would it be
possible to do something similar for Dokuwiki? Is there an embeddable
version of Lily?
I see two possible strategies here: (1) Use DW's media manager to keep a
.ly file and engrave from the file to generate output, or (2) use an
inline source. In either case the output needs to be embeddable HTML
(and if possible a MIDI track).
Thoughts?
*For the interested: Dokuwiki (https://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki) is a
wiki system based on plain text files and a php formatter. Like Lily it
is designed to be extensible by the use of plugins, which users are
encouraged to publish.
