In a slow week for my project, I worked through the problem of getting note data back to the text editor, and prepared for more advanced visualisations. I lost my way a bit towards the end and didn't quite get where I need to be, as shown in the video, but I can see a clear path to it now. I also don't mention in the video, but my intention here is to use colors that match a defined set of colors in the timeline for consistency (i.e. the same drum pattern will light up with the same color in editor and timeline)

For Ixi lang in particular, I want to have highlights/effects on patterns that have been mutated too. One of the goals of my project is to give the user a deeper understanding of how the text connects with the music. I want to enable that debug moment where you think 'where is that occasional note I can hear coming from - ah, yes, it's _that pattern there_' . So this is just the start of what I want to do.

I love where this project is going! 🙂
what do you use for the text editor, some parts of neovim?

Hi @Mariano Guerra, the text editor is my own thing; I talk about it in some of my updates. You can see the project here: https://github.com/Rezonality/zep. There is a video overview too.
I built the editor to solve some of the problems you see here; since it needs embedded widgets, adornments, etc.
