abcweb

abcweb is a javascript program that renders a score file (MusicXML or ABC) and plays a media file (audio or video). It displays a cursor in the score that is synchronized with the playback (see synpdf for synchronizing PDF score files).

All software is javascript running in the browser. No server involved. No preprocessing required. You can select your own score- and media file.

Features:

• The score is rendered as SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) with abc2svg
• Reads ABC or MusicXML (on the fly translated to ABC with xml2abc-js)
• Plays mp3 or ogg audio. Plays mp4 or webm video.
• Can load and synchronize video's directly from YouTube.
• Score and media can be opened/saved locally or from Dropbox.
• Can preload score, media and synchronization data.
• Shows a line cursor or a shaded measure or no cursor (just scrolling score).
• Automatic synchronization of synthesized audio if score has tempo markings
• Manual synchronization by clicking on the first beat of a measure when it sounds
• Can show a metronome attached to the playing measure
• Can show count-in before starting playback
• Can synchronize multiple devices for orchestre direction (tested with iPads)
• Can import the same timing data into different score parts (orchestre direction)
