You can probably fix your songbook files by opening them in whatever program you made them with and saving them as a text file. Or open them in windows...

... "SAVE AS". ... For Windows users, I'd suggest trying abcmus, by Henrik Norbeck. It is (inexpensive) shareware, has a text editor, a very good midi...
Any chance this is the text file difference between unix and msdos? Unix uses a CR (or LF) while msdos uses both CRLF after each line. If so, there is a...

With ABC2WIN I can open an abc file, pick out as many tunes as I want and export them to another file that alredy has tunes in it or I can make a new file and...
... Good idea about using ABC2Win that way. I just tried it out and, even with tunes that it doesn't like the ABC code of, it will nicely export them into...
Ok, I am again trying out abcEdit. IT just doesn't work right. I opened an existing file and started to enter a new tune. Every thing looks great but I...
