How To Build Custom Music Notation Support

[imiskolee]

Hi, team:

As well as we know Vexflow is a very powerful music nation render platform, but a lot of music notation just working special country(eg: China Numbered Music Notation), so, can we have a solution for build a custom music notation(s) ?

A simple example of Numbered Music Notation:

Hi,All:

In fact, I am starting working on it, and I planned the below steps:

#1. add new SVG graphics.
#2. create a new Note class like the existed TabNote.

Can you helping any other ideas ? thanks all.

@imiskolee you only need to render text, right? Then can't you just use StaveText?
Or new TimeSignature(), like in MultiMeasureRest?
https://github.com/0xfe/vexflow/blob/master/src/multimeasurerest.js#L218
If you can, then you don't need to create any graphics, i think.
(if the issue is hiding stafflines, then you can probably make them transparent)

@imiskolee have you completed your numbered notation implementation? Just curious. Would you share it? A few other Chinese developers have been asking for this.
