VS Code snippets for creating Reabank files

[ovska]

After many hours of slowly scrolling the Reabank documentation in search of colors/icons, and reading the UACCv2 spec, I created some snippets that can be used to set the the articulation color, icon and program number a little easier 😀

Usage in VS Code:

• Run Snippets: Configure snippets command (Ctrl+Shift+P)
• Choose whichever location you want, I created a new reabank.json file
• Add the snippets to the json and save
• Alternatively, just download the reabank.json and put it to %appdata%\Code\User\snippets\

You can set the prefixes however you like, below are the defaults. For those unfamiliar, type the snippet shortcut, then press TAB to see the choices. TAB or ENTER accepts the choice, and you can search the options by text as well

• i= for icons
• c= for colors
• program or uacc for program numbers/names

This isn't the most ergonomic way to use it, and falls short of creating an actual language server for Reabank, but it was enough to get me over the most painful parts so I didn't go that far :)

The colors and icons are sourced from Reaticulate.com, UACC names from publicly available Spitfire library manuals.
