Hello, does anyone know how to stop abcm2ps from putting end of line warning accidentals at key signature changes? timewarn is set to "no" in the format file. ...
I've added a new example to ABCp that translates a chord symbol in a ABC chord. For example "C" in [CEG], "Amin" in [ACE] and "FMaj7" in [FACE]. For the chord...
I'm having a problem with the tempo of tunes played in ABCExplorer, and seem to be getting different behaviour to the developer. In the tune below, I want to...
I don't use ABCExplorer, but Q:3/8=70 and Q:1/8=210 should play at the same tempo, and should take just over 41 seconds to complete the 16-bar tune. That is,...
... Curious! I've just tried it with this and some 6/8 jigs and got a similar result. I use intelligible metronome settings (eg jig is Q:3/8=120) which as you...
... abc2midi cannot do playblack. It only creates MIDI files form ABC. A program for playback of MIDI files can change the tempo when playing, independently of...
... Hmmm. Yes, you are right of course, abc2midi only produces the midi file which is played back. It's the same version 2.15 in ABCEx. If it works OK for you...
... I sent a question about this to Gérard, not quite as phrased above. "Why would this be? Is it a feature of ABCEx, or ABC2midi, or what?" .. Here is his...
... With Gérard's reply in mind, and since there are no further comments I must assume that nobody has any problem with the status quo, as 1/4=n,2/8=n,6/8=n...
I agree that Q:3/8=n works OK, and I've changed all the 6/8 and 9/8 tunes in my tunebook to use that. Q:1/8=n is still wrong for 6/8 and 9/8 time signatures...
Hi all. I'm trying to devise a good API for handling meters and I would really appreciate any comments you may have on how to do this. At least I tought one...
How about just returning the meter as an array? For instance, in C++ it would be: #include <vector> using std::vector; vector<int> top = abcMeterBeats(); int...
... That case the C interface should also return the length of each array, so that the caller can store the result. It will be at most a small bunch of int...
... Well, first, I'm pretty used to object oriented code, so some of this might be awkward in C, but here's how I'd be thinking as a client of this library...
Paul, Hudson, thanks for your suggestions. I tried both with returning an array and using the "...Nth()" function. In the end I opted for the second because I...
Hi Tom, thanks for your suggestion. Representing lists in C would be more difficult than in Python, I need to think on how to do it but I think I understand...
... Is "1/1" a legal meter? If so, I don't think that "none" should return that, unless they mean the same thing. The question is what the meter could possibly...
... I don't think it's legal that's why I suggested to use as "none". Do you think "0/0" would work better? Another possibility would be to use negative...

Hello, ... "none" is acctually used by typesetting clients as "Don't put in a meter", "1/1" acctually used by typesetting clients as "put in the number 1/1 ...
... I think 1/1 should be legal, as it is 1/4 or 1/8, which are used sometimes. I prefer negative numbers, which could be hidden from the user in the form of...
... I cannot point you to any documentation. :-( I hope this help: abcm2ps accepts this (spaces cannot be used): M:3/4+3/8+5/16 M:5/4+1/8 The latter is...
I am using ABCEdit, and on some tunes I would like to put the words in. When I enter them like this W:These are the words W:To my song, Ma The words show up...
... You should use "w:" (lowercase w) for this. Have a look at the section on lyrics of the ABC 2.0 draft standard for details on how to align syllables with...
Thanks, I tried that and it works. I don't knowwhat I was doing wrong before. I thought I had tried using gthe small w: but I guess, I must have put the...
Here's an example. The %%scale and %%format lines were for my tastes and can be omitted. I like to use a separate format file and I size everything to fit 1...
Hi all. I've re-implemented the M: field in ABCp. I've addedd helpers for the explicit meter (e.g. "M:C|=2/4") but not yet for the more complex meters like...
I'm probably just blind, but searching in the 2.0 draft standard, web searches, and guessing, have left me not knowing how to add two features to my score...
