Hi Everyone,
I have been looking for ways to write out musical notation in typst. I know there is the chordx and conchord pachages for guitar chords. But has anyone tried to draw full musical notation?

The only thing I have seen so far is this one. I recommend looking at the examples to see what it is capable of (spoiler: not much). I guess it could be kind of starting point if you want to work in this direction.
Unfortunately, the task is quite hard. I wanted to try it related to conchord tabs, but gave up quickly. Rendering (a very large amount) symbols properly is not enough, to make it usable you should also implement several layout features. A very simple example would be scaling of the distance between symbols the way that a number of bars is an integer (that feature is actually implemented at conchord for tabs).
So nope, I can’t say that would be easy. But if you have time and skills to invest, having a music notation package would be very nice!
