I have yet to find an iPhone app I'm willing to pay money for (there is so much good free stuff available), but an ABC app would definitely get me to open my...
I would see basic playback as being a high-priority item. give the small size of the screen, I'd probably go with:- one tune at a time - single voice - sync...
That sounds like it would give me much of what I need. It would let me capture ideas on the fly and then move them elsewhere for further refinement. I too...

Is there a conventional/customary way to indicate a bell strike on a cymbal? My first instinct was to use the circle-x notehead (flatted note in percussion...

Hallo Glenn, you can use diamond shaped note heads for bell strokes, but that symbol is also being used for other percussion instruments. There is not really a...
... Thanks. I was about to say, "I don't know how I overlooked that," but then I realized that I do have a pretty good idea how I managed to overlook it. It...
... I'm pretty sure that abcm2ps doesn't use a font for generating basic music notation ... the graphical elements are created with native Postscript commands....
Is there a way to do this? I have to pull one piece from the center of a book , readjust some settings and print it separately. But, I need consecutive...
To select a piece use the command-line flag ``-e''. To set the page number use ``%%newpage <num>'' (example below). About changes in the formatting,...

I share this problem. On the Mac I've never been able to make the format files for chords work correctly. I want to use them in the abc file rather than as a...
Greetings, I've a strange situation using abcm2ps on a Mac. If I use any version newer than one compiled in 2004 the ps file, when converted to pdf and...
... So I'm not the only one who has seen this. ;-) I use several of the abc2ps clones, and when I first started using a Mac a few years ago, I found that this...
Thanks John, I've been avoiding fmt files because I can't seem to make Barfly happy with the path I specify. But, I'll figure that out and see if it solves...

Hi, I'm working on an ABC parser and was looking for a definitive test suite for it. Unfortunately, I see the following problems: 1) Should I target the 1.6...
Seems like abcm2ps uses most of what is spelled out in the 2.0 specification. I honestly don't ever see the 2.0 specification being adopted. Anyone working...
... I think the answer is 'somewhere in between'. 1.6 is too limited, and 2.0 is overkill and wishful thinking. I agree that abcm2ps is generally the most...
I would say anyone that comes up with a robust parser and a test suite that doesn't fight against abcm2ps will be the person defining what the solution is. Go...
