For Security reason, obsidian community plugin can't request from web automatically to prevent potential malicious attack, so it's neccesarry for you to do manually comfirm.
Tab Flow plugin uses a npm package @coderline/alphatab [github repo](https://github.com/CoderLine/alphaTab), where the package content (font & sound font) comes from. We plan to provide other font resources when ready.
Currently Tab Flow plugin downloads assets fromm github release(frozen and immutable release/tag, 0.0.5 for now). If you do concern about the code, please refer to the latest tag & release.
### 2 download by github release & manual install

Release `tab-flow.zip` contains assets in right dictory position, so there is no need to download assets and reload again.

## Disclaimer
Please make a backup for your gp files. Currently Tab flow will not rewrite back to your guitar pro files but some tabs rendered with bad results because of the different encoding methods for Chinese/Japanese/... characters (CJK) or some other encoding reasons.
This plugin can't automatically download `font`, `soundfont` and `worker.mjs` for you due to obsidian's policy about community plugins. However, we provide a bottom to complete the settings.
