ABCjs & abcExport Extensions

This site very much relies on the ABC Javascript (abcjs) open source javascript engine for rendering abc formatted tunes as sheet music entirely in the browser.

Integration of this abcjs package required a custom extension ABCjs that was written specifically to support this site. This extension adds a hook to include and configure the abcjs_plugin javascript package (currently using v6.3.0-min), that renders abc music notation as a score, on all pages that match the required content criteria (see extension documentation for details). Management of the Tune classification tags is assisted by adding a hook to the page editor that scans the abc notation of a tune page being saved, and automatically adds/updates the required Key, Meter and Rhythm Category tags at the end of the page.

A second extension abcExport was also written to provide support for for exporting abc tune content from one or more pages, as either an abc notation file, or pdf rendered score. It adds a special page Special:AbcExport that allows for multiple page titles to be entered, or accessed if previously tagged, along with hooks to include several new toolbox navigation links to export from current page, tag page, or access this special page.
