I would like to do the following:

  * Let ScholarLY add an 'id to the affected grob
  * Let ScholarLY export annotations to a JSON file (including the

  * Let LilyPond compile to SVG (where the elements get the ID)
  * Display the SVG score in a web page
  * Use the ID to create popovers displaying the annotation
  * Use it also to display a list of annotations with links to the
    score elements

I think all this should be principally quite straightforward - and provide us with the basics for stuff that can go pretty far into what digital editions do today.

I would implement the website part with Angular, as that's what I have some experience with. But if someone chimes in and insists on taking a different approach I wouldn't object.


Two quick thoughts:

Sounds complementary to LilyPond HTML Live Score. Might be some useful overlap to work with / leverage there?

As you probably know, I've heard that Angular 2 is quite different from Angular 1.x. (big break in backwards compatibility, difficult migration from 1 to 2, etc.) So if you're using Angular, I think you'd want to use version 2.

React.js might be worth considering as well. I'll be using it for my GSOC project. What you describe seems relatively simple (as web apps go), so maybe the more minimal approach of React would make sense and do all you need?

Just some thoughts, I'm no expert, and I don't expect I'll have time to contribute to this...

Cheers,
-Paul
