I just ran some tests with Media player. I took an abc tune and pasted it into the concertina site tune o tron. I played the midi file it opens in Mdeia...
Hello, I'm a recent member and I'm currently making my own ABC tool, 'ABCexplorer', an editor-player for Windows (Win98 and WinXP, I didn't try it on Vista)....
MIDI alone is just not good enough. I have Windows on a PC & assume the only sounds I can generate are MIDI (from my Abcs). Unfortunately my Mac friends do not...
... MIDI has no say in how music sounds. The MIDI output simply gives instructions on what to play to a MIDI synthesiser. The quality of that component will...

... Of course if you want to share with friends and be sure of how a piece of music will sound on their systems, MIDI is not altogether reliable. I suppose...

Thanks Jon; Just to keep things simple . . . I want to get a good sound along this route: Abc to Midi to .wav (or mp3). I send mp3s to friends. My primary Abc...
... PCI is internal. External routes for sound cards available to you are usb and possibly cardbus and firewire. I don't know if any of these would have a midi...

... You can do that, but you will be running an old version of MacOS, and you will have to install the old version of BarFly (which is still available), so you...
Thanks Jon; I am looking over my specs. I Have a Dell Inspirion B310. It has an express card slot & I assumed the connector was PCI. I still think the...
Hello Phil; You certainly answered one question. I will just have to try Barfly. I will definitely put up a post once I have given it a spin & heard my tunes...

Does anyone know of an open source ABC parser written in one of the common scripting languages (as in Perl, Python, Ruby, Lua, Scheme, Lisp)? Something for...
I have one that I have written in Python. It is BNF based, and runs fairly well. On the caveats section - I have all of the syntax done (it will parse any...

The work you have done so far looks good. It is interesting that when I open the files my volume resets to zero. The problem may well be my 'miscrosoft gs wave...

Thank you, Calum, for your kind words. I will think about a download feature. It is a bit complex as I will show you. To get the preludium on your computer you...
Thank you, Auburn, for your comments. I can't help you with your volume reset problem, unfortunately. My flash animation just plays an mp3 file and shouldn't...

No problem Willem; I played the mp3s today & the volume remained on. It is a mystery but your music is playing fine. Thanks for putting this out to abcusers. ...
Dear Willem and early music fans: Talking about baroque music, i would like to ask you the way to put "fingered bass" in the score. Maybe using a kind of...

I suspect the answer may be 'nope'... Harmony Assistant is for windows and I am on Linux (on Wine it looks very instable). Other solutions/suggestions? Thanks!...
