The differences are pretty small - have you checked that your paper size is set correctly? I suspect those sizes would fit on A4, but not US letter, perhaps....

Thanks, Calum. I don't think that is the problem, but it may shed some light on the actual problem. The page size is set with these commands: %%pageheight...

Hi I just learned about the repeat mechanism in abcm2ps 5.9.3. It seems it's not possible to have a repeat span several lines. Is that the case, or is it just...
Sorry for the long delay. Simple: D|"G"!G!B>A "G+"!G+!GF | "C"!C.!EA "D7"!D7!FD | The quoted chord ( "G" ) ends up written just above the actual chord diagram...
Hi I sometimes have a need to write something, mostly bass parts in tablature (I don't read it myself, but some students seems addicted). Is it possible with...

jaabc2ps will do both tablature AND notation with a disclaimer. I think the last release was about 2003 and as this release did exactly what ja needed it to...
Chris, Could you put an entire file out here that works correctly on your machine and puts up the chord diagrams? I'd love to get this working on my Mac, but...
Ditto. A simple abc file. Any auxillary files needed. A command line to make it work. I would SO appreciate that. I'd just like to see chord diagrams show...
I've found a way to make the example below work correctly so I could print chord diagrams. But unfortunately the solution runs into the other Mac and abcm2ps...
Hi Chuck, I'll upload to the files section (if it lets me). It's the Christmas song "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" - but not the standard hymn...
Thank you for trying, but I put your code on top of my abc file and got exactly what I always do. Here is my complete file. Maybe you can see something wrong....
A bit more than a year ago, I tried getting TexNic Center / MikTeX going on a WinXP PC, but eventually gave up, discouraged by the complexity of the setup. ...
That code of yours works for me in ABCedit, Richard, even if your is included. I'm guessing that your problem is either program- or platform-specific. Thanks...

I see the chord letters, lyrics and notation. I don't see the chord diagrams. Do you see those? ________________________________ From: Steve Langford...
There are two obvious problems with the abc file. First, you don't even use the decorations that you create. You have to insert the chord decorations after...
Thanks Chris, OPn the Mac: If i use abcm2ps 5.4.4 your file works just fine (except for a line spacing issue that has nothing to do with the chords). If I...
There is a second approach to chord diagrams out on the web. It is similar to Chris' approach and it uses a format file named "bracinho." I'm sorry to say I...
Perhaps it's something as simple as using the %%pagesize metacomment? I put %%pagesize 28.00cm at the top of every abc file I make. I think abcm2ps's default...
Good thought Chris, and I was excited because it really seemed rational. Unfortunately I tried it and it doesn't work. :-< Thanks for the thought. Chuck Boody...

YES YES YES. That is/was the problem! I can stick that into a format file. Since I often do quick things it would be very convenient (though hardly...
Finally. Thank you VERY much. Didn't know about how to use the decorations. I also downloaded your file that shows how to create new chords. Here is the final...

Looks good Richard. I'm glad to see you got your problem solved too. One suggestion: You gan get a space between the verse number and the word by using a...
