    • See the VexABC tests to find out features implemented and working
  • Currently, only one voice and a single stave can be used
    • Multi-voice and multi-stave (system) support will be implemented eventually
  • The current VexFlow API imposes some restrictions on how notation can be rendered
    • Clefs, key signatures and time signatures can be rendered only at the beginning of a measure
    • Voltas (e.g. variant endings) can only begin and end on measure boundaries
