ABC Sheet Music Plugin for Joplin

This plugins for Joplin renders ABC notation into sheet music. You create a fenced block with "abc" as identifier, and the content is rendered to a sheet music:

```abc
K:F
!f!(fgag-g2c2)|
```

For example:

Installation

In Joplin, open the configuration screen, then under "Plugins" search for "ABC".

Configuration

Global options

In the configuration screen, you can set additional options for the ABC renderer. See the official ABC documentation for the full list of options. You need to set them as a JSON5 object.

For example, this would make the foreground colour red, and will make the music twice as big:

{ foregroundColor: "#ff0000", scale: 2 }

Per sheet options

You can also activate options for a particular sheet music. To do so, add a header to the ABC markup, separated by ---, which will contain the renderer options.

For example, this would add violin tablatures to the sheet music:

```abc
{tablature: [{instrument: 'violin'}]}
---

X:1
T: Cooley's
M: 4/4
L: 1/8
R: reel
K: G
|:D2|EB{c}BA B2 EB|~B2 AB dBAG|FDAD BDAD|FDAD dAFD|
```

Note that even in this case the global options still apply. The per-sheet options simply override the global ones if there's a conflict.
