Here is the sample abc block, please notice %%MIDI gchordoff

In this case I just want to disable the generated chords accompaniment, or use a different chord arrangement.
Please see abc2midi .

I tested both the published community plugin and the main branch build, they all have the same behavior of not processing %%MIDI gchord.

Tested using "abcjs": "6.4.3", with %%MIDI gchord z can silent chords.

Hi! I'm not sure if you are saying that this example doesn't work with the Obsidian plugin but works with abcjs, or does it also not work with the latest abcjs.
Let me know if it is an issue with the plugin itself or do you think there's an issue with abcjs.
Obsidian plugins are so simple that the most that can be done is usually to update abcjs to the latest version. Any issues with abcjs should be addressed in the library's repository, so it can be addressed properly.

@alensiljak Thanks for the reply :D
I wonder if you can simply bump the version of abcjs, and then build and release on the community plugin store.
I see the latest update was 1 year ago.
Meanwhile the official plugin template and its package.json dependencies are also different.

[alensiljak]

Was there a new release of abcjs?

There is now another new version - so you can bump the version to 6.4.4.

Thanks, @paulrosen!
@tannineo, the latest version has just been published
https://github.com/abcjs-music/obsidian-plugin-abcjs/releases/tag/1.5.0
Let us know if this solves the issue, please.
