I am using ABCedit version 4.00.02 and when I have it transpose, the Major7 chords all end up minor chords. Same with some of theother chords with numbers...
After downloading ABCEdit 4.02.02 I found that music on the bass staff was being displayed as if it had been intended for the treble staff, i.e., the bass clef...
... Hmm ... Not too sure where you might have been looking to get that idea. You obviously didn't look around at abcnotation.org.uk, since that site's...
Yeah, I see this, I look abcnotaion.org.uk, see all those tools, and I see and use softwares like abcm2ps with a new realease in march 2009, but I speak...
There's never going to be a final 2.0 spec. The needs and goals of the abc software programmer community are now too varied for that to ever happen. -Steve...
The best feature that could be developed for the abc community would be to develop a process that would allow unlimited features to be added without...
... I think I see a route to that, by designing a metalanguage for specifying syntax and semantics, somewhat like an XML DTD, then re-implementing standard ABC...
If anyone is using Timidity++ with ABC notation and programs like abc2midi to create their own accompaniment, I thought I'd mention a few things that might be...
From: Richard Walker ... Last time I looked (some years ago) my problem was that different ABC applications in use, had mutually contradictory ideas of some...
Not too late if you create a new filename extension. The abc file extension would have to remain as is since no software would look for any dialect marker...
... Just don't use .DEF, please -- I'm still hoping to get around to creating an ABC-like notation for English country dance, contra, squaredance, etc., and...
Isn't there a ton of English country dance, contra and square dance music in the abc format already? I know I've seen a lot of Scottish country dance music. ...
Richard Walker <rlwalker2@...> ... Yes, there is a lot of dance _music_ in ABC, and that's the point to creating a notation for the choreography that...
OHhhhhh, you want it for DANCE directions rather than MUSIC. I like it. It would be nice to be able to combine "Hole in the Wall" notes, chords, lyrics (maybe...
From: Richard Walker ... Indeed. .abc2 (or something like that - I haven't checked its availability) might be an idea if a definitive non-ambiguous spec...
The specification says an exclamation point ( ! ) can be used to force a line break. I tried it with abcm2ps and nothing happened. Does anyone know what...
I seem to recall abcm2ps having trouble with line breaks and deleted the capability of " // " or " \\ " to equate to a line break. It may have also impacted...
Guilty I was using a batch file that included the "-c" and I'm also using a format file. When I checked the format file I didn't see anything that would...
... I would expect that. [...] ... [...] I could not understand the reason to generate a file named "out.ps" and then delete it. abcm2psexe %1.abc -B 6 -O...
Interesting - I ran some more tests. It seems (from observation) that the ! line breaks are overridden by %%barsperstaff, %%continueall and the -c switch. ...
... Hmm ... So what spec says that ! is to be used this way? I don't remember reading any discussion of the idea, just a few comments about the nonstandard...
