Bring notation you already have
ABC notation is how folk and traditional tunes are shared, and LilyPond is how a great deal of engraved music is written. Both can be pasted straight into the plugin: headers such as ABC K:, M: and L:, or LilyPond clef, key and ime, set the context, so the score reads the way its author wrote it.
The plugin detects which notation you pasted. When a snippet is ambiguous - a headerless ABC body can look like note tokens - an input-format control lets you say which one it is.
Engraved, not approximated
Rests, dotted notes, accidentals, ties across bar lines, automatic beaming from the meter, tuplets, repeat bar lines and first and second endings are all drawn. Longer scores wrap onto further systems, restating the clef and key signature the way printed music does.
ABC voices and LilyPond ew Staff blocks become separate staves joined into one system, with a brace for a piano grand staff and a bracket for larger groups.
Keep notation as editable SVG artwork
Every musical glyph is placed as a vector outline rather than as text in a music font, so an exported score renders correctly on machines that have never heard of Bravura.
The notation that produced a score is stored with it. Select a placed score and the Score panel shows its original ABC or LilyPond, ready to edit and reapply.
Anything the plugin does not engrave - slurs, lyrics, grace notes, dynamics, ornaments and chord symbols - is reported rather than dropped in silence, so you always know what was left out.
