Taboo: Chord Sheet Editor and Manager Web Application

Abstract

The aim of the Taboo project is to provide a user-friendly interface for creating and managing guitar chord sheets. The target audience is set as musicians with an interest in browsing guitar tablatures and creating their own collection of chord sheets. The essential innovation of the application lies in the interactive interface for creating and editing these sheets, which are described by a Domain Specific Language (DSL). This markup language is interpreted by a rendering engine, facilitating the responsive appearance of the chord sheets on devices with different resolutions. This article presents the Taboo project, including the requirements of the application, its architecture and the details of the implementation. It describes the technologies and tools used during the development process and it demonstrates the usage of the software.
