I'm probably somewhat atypical of the usual ABC user. I'm using ABC as a compositional tool, not as an archival means for folk songs. I'm well versed in Finale and most DAW's, but for this project ABC

I've hit a weird playback error on a tune that has two voices and in the B-Part a 1st and second ending. When I format it like this: [V:1] |: B2GABd | A2F2d2 | TG2EFGB | A2GFED | TB2GABd | A2F2d2 | TG

I am obviously going through one of my clumsy periods. I can't find the instructions on how to use abc2svg to actually extract an .svg file for a page by inputting an appropriate .abc file apologies f

I have a tune that I'm trying to transcribe from a friend's playing. It is a standard AABB Irish tune. She plays a pickup note whenever she goes back to the A part, but not for the very first time she

Whimsical doodle from Anton Platonov, but there is a good point in the notation. Usefully notating music for the tilinkó (seljeflote, telynka, koncovka) is very difficult. You get two different interl

A small item that will need to be tidied up some day. In a tune header, if the B: field contains an ampersand, it seems to prevent abc2svg rendering anything. flos

Though I would still prefer to be able to generate medleys directly from a master file, it seems that my best bet is to create a separate file containing “tunes” that are actually medleys constructed

I have a tune that starts with one long measure (meant to be played rubato) that has no time signature. Then it goes into 2/4. In EasyABC, I can display measure numbers. But in abc2svg I can't. Here's

The indicator for the first (labelled) part of tune is, typically for me, a boxed letter A. In the score display, this appears above the first barline or note. But, to line up nicely with the other pa

I’ve been leveraging abcweb1-1.js to display tunes from a virtual tunebook (AlmsForOblivion.com) that users can select from a table. The table for one of these “books” includes common medleys. As thin

Does anyone know of a way to search ABC files for tunes that use only a given set of notes? Example use-cases would be looking for things playable on a diatonic instrument with a range of only a coupl

Has anyone got this to work, please? flos

Does it make sense to extend !0!--!5! to include !6! and !7! as trombone slide positions? (Context below.) I wouldn't expect a negative impact on any existing tune. Personally, I would use this. I can

I’ve been using some of jf’s scripts to serve up tunes on the web. They work wonderfully, but there are quirks on mobile devices, and browsers that make them inconsistent on my iOS devices. I’ve jotte

I have a vague recollection of being able to code for a glissando (a smooth glide between defined start and end pitches). I have spent many hours searching the standards, without success. The !slide!

Hi all, I’ve been using the grid option in abc2svg and I’ve run into a few issues. Example files (chord grid pdf, chord grid abc and script wrapper) are below The size of the cells in the chord grid s

I have recently added support for generating PDF documents to the abcCairo project. This means that it now supports these formats: -CPNG : PNG one file per tune. -CSVG: SVG one file per tune -CPDF: PD

I know it's possible to put little boxes around bar numbers. Can I do that with Part labels? flos

If you want to transpose abc code into a different key one way to do it is to export as xml from EasyABC, import the xml into MuseScore or similar music notation program, use that program to transpose

Hi folks, The question is a touch creative. what I mean is this. could one use abc notation to create sharable lead sheets from only a voice track? Say singing the notes into whatever abc might use, a
