The same way we can add text to a PDF, could we imagine adding music notation using ABC notation? We would just type the ABC, and MobilesheetsPro would render the music using abc2svg (preferably as it is more up to date) or abcm2ps. This has several advantages.
If we want to further integrate with .chordpro file, this could even be added as a .chordpro directive {abc} or section {start_of_abc} {end_of_abc} to allow multi-lines.
- no need to manage additional image file, only need to save the ABC text, size and position
- if the chordpro file needs to transposed, we can also transpose the ABC fragment before rendering
- no need to edit the music in a separate dedicated music writing app/software. ABC is simple text and can be entered in any dumb text editor.
