What is this?

Neanes uses Electron's printing and PDF generation capabilities to achieve WYSIWYG. This project is a demonstration of how PDF generation could be achieved without relying on Electron's printing capabilities. It was created to serve as a reference should Neanes ever need to pivot from its current technologies, as well as a reference for anyone who might want to create their own scorewriting software without Electron, or a CLI tool for Neanes.

It is only a rough proof-of-concept and contains many missing features. For example, lack of font resolution on MacOS, no support for TTC font files, and no support for rich text boxes.
