I'll have to dive deeper into abcjs - then we'll see
Maybe someone wants to help figuring things out - how to use the API and so 
on...

I'll have to dig deeper into how the soundfont gets passed to the midi 
player, I'm not doing that right at the moment
As you say, it uses the grand piano as default, right now I don't know 
where and how that can be set to something else
Your infos here are helpful, thank you!

Have you seen the "Click Me" button that plays a sound directly from a json 
tiddler, without using any plugins?
I've put some info on the page how that is done

I think you're right and abcjs does that already - the abc syntax is 
something like: c c c c = 4 (how-do-you-call-that-in-english) 
eighth-c-notes ... 2c 2c 2c 2c = 4 quarter c notes and so on...
I haven't looked that good at the syntax... But it's something like that...
