Gregory Dyke and Paul Rosen are pleased to announce version 1.0 of abcjs.

Abcjs is an open source parsing and rendering tool for ABC written
entirely in javascript, so it allows sheet music to be rendered as both
standard notation and MIDI entirely with the browser.

Here are a couple ways to use this:

For rendering any ABC notation found on a web page as standard notation,
see http://drawthedots.com/abcplugin

For the simplest ABC editor in a web page, see http://drawthedots.com/abcjs

For a free on-line editor and tune storage website, see
http://drawthedots.com

Enjoy! And we'd appreciate feedback of all kinds.

Notes:

1) ABC 1.6 is mostly done, and many parts of ABC 2.0 are supported. We
are actively working on improving the rendering.

2) We know that the rendering in IE is not as pretty as Firefox, Safari,
and Chrome, but we're working it!

It does produce very nice looking music in Safari. It would be nice if that notation could then be copied and pasted into another document. As it is, I seem only to be able to print the whole page with the music displayed in the middle of the text.
