thesession.org has one of the largest collections of ABC tunes and provides a web API. The app should allow users to access this API. I imagine it as a "special" Collection in the Browser, like "All Collections", something like "thesession.org (remote)". Then it would use a modified CollectionBrowser component that queries the API instead of the database.

The same search and filter options should be able to work, and users should be able to save tunes from the API into one of their own Collections.

I'm working on a react-native cross platform app for working musicians as a first react-native project, and would very much like to render some abc to nearly any sort of notation -- nothing as controlled as what you've put together with VexFlow, etc.

When you were just starting this project, did you by any chance happen to prove the concept of abcjs in react-native with a simple one-screen app with minimal dependencies? If so, would you consider sharing it? I'm using expo which hopefully won't matter ...

Even a simple import of the abcjs library seems to create compile errors in react-native, and if it weren't for your project I'd probably conclude abcjs and react-native are not compatable. But clearly they are, because there you are! 👍

In an issue thread on the abcjs site @paulrosen implies that abcjs may not work on react-native because it requires the presence of a DOM to render ... is that why you involved VexFlow, as a strategy to work around the absence of react-native rendering? Or was there another motivation?

I don't have any Apple hardware, so if anyone is interested in trying to build the app for IOS, I will be happy to help you as I can. I'm not sure if I want to buy a developer account for $100/year to publish my free app, so if somebody out there has one and wants to publish the app (for free, as "ABC Songbook" with similar description to the Android listing and links to the repositories, proper attribution, etc.), you are free to do so.

Implement two new audio playback options: loop (repeat the tune until the stop button is pressed) and metronome count-in.

I think the ABCJS synth supports these, otherwise it might not be possible.

Hi, I tried using your source, Almost everything was done right but It had an error. Abc sheet music is not rendered and message says "BadGlyph" , "glyph v does not exist in font" . Maybe it's not working in the vexflow or abcjs-vexflow-renderer. Can I check the full request if you do it?

From a user review on Google store. Unsure if this change needs to be made here or in abcjs-vexflow-renderer or both.
