Good job! and thanks for sharing. As a software developer I really like the textual music notation as I can version control them (Yes, musicXML exists but that is overcomplicated for me most of the time). But as a composer I can never work with these online textual editors. Mostly because my hands are accustomed to shortcuts that the big music editors offer (Sibelius and Finale for example). The thing is what these online music editors offer are really close to what composers like me want, but not there yet. I mean just adding shortcuts and translating them to ABC will turn this to a completely useful software for me as I really don't need other options of those software. Just as an example:
1.numbers change note length
2.abcdefg change notes
3.left right cursor to move like normal
4.up down cursor change note
...
there are not a lot of them but having them makes the difference for me.
