Using abcm2ps (current stable version - 5.9.19), I find that if I change the %%score setting to hide or show staves over the course of a tune, it usually ...
Is there a way of coloring noteheads using abcm2ps? I would like to highlight notes by coloring their noteheads red, for example. Below is a simple example...
Yes, that's exactly the effect I was looking for. Thanks! It is too bad that there isn't built in syntax for this. It seems like a common enough feature. And I...
The standard died with the original version. After that, those who do fake sheets were happy. The person who wrote abcm2ps had the right idea. If there are...
... I don't think it has to be one or the other. I'm (extremely) glad abcm2ps exists, I'm glad Jef still seems to be actively supporting it, and I agree that...

I agree it should be a new number. I don't care if it is 2.1 or 3.0. So that means that we don't touch the current document's URL, but start a new one. Either...
I think I will take the suggestion of trying to implement something first and seeing if it is useful enough to put in the standard. But, I would like feedback...
