"VexTab is a language that allows you to easily create, edit, and share standard notation and guitar tablature. Unlike ASCII tab, which is designed for readability, VexTab is designed for writeability."
Not really. The lilypond format is extremely...complicated and obscure (and that's my polite take on it). Even simple stuff is quite complex. Very very far from Markdown's virtually WYSIWYG.
AlphaTex?

Not quite MD, but fairly easy to learn.

There's no such thing as "Tab format". Tabs are just ascii text.
I had people who had been writing Tabs on paper for a very long time. I would wager that ascii is just a representation
lol markdown and html are also both ascii/unicode and by themselves disprove your point.
Um, how exactly does that even tangentially relate to my point?

Isn't that what LilyPond does, more or less?
