Tabst: A style to write, manage and enjoy alphaTex.

I am still learning how to write alphaTex more efficiently, and here I have an electron app for anyone who want to try alphaTex :) I am so happy many have tried my plugin for obsidian. I made this for more exciting features because now I can control more in an electron environment through Node.js and more.

Hint and auto-complete.

Manage the .atex files by tags and status.

Inline commands.

Search functionality. (I will add indexing and caching or maybe later. But now it's fast enough.)

To control the alphaTabApi (setting.*) and add metadata to .atex files, I wrote an extension called atdoc.
It extends alphaTex syntax similarly to JSDoc /** */.

Configure your own player and editor.

Built-in guides for users and developers.
(No website, tutorials or online docs, and the mdx docs support interactive playground.)

Some of them are from alphatab.net and I place a license in the app.

Support for the selection API is currently experimental. When enabled, clicking the score will scroll the editor to the corresponding line, and vice versa. Additionally, when the score is playing, the active notes will be highlighted in the editor!

Huge thanks and best wishes to the alphaTab.js project.

Let me know what you think or if you have anything to discuss! ;)

Hi Jay, Thanks for sharing this! I would definitely be interested in trying it out. I’m also curious about the editor. For the current track names, do you know if adding a UI overlay inside the top SVG would allow for reformatting them? Specifically, I'm wondering if it's possible to hide the names and add a tuner in that space instead. Best regards, Brett Bolzenthal
