Re: [abcusers] Make only lyrics and chords from abc?

[Aaron Newman]

I think it should be possible to do this.  There was some talk at one point 
about 'invisible' rests.  I think the best way to do it would be to add a 
field to the V: header indicating that notes are to change to chicken 
scratches. Probably something similar could be done for drum notation.

Hi,
(please view this with a monospaced font)
With the modern software available you can obviously print melody without
lyrics, print one single voice out of a multivoice file etc.
It normally should also be possible to use the same abc file to print out
something like this:

(1) good version:
/ /  /    /      || C /  F /   | C /   /   /          |
    It's been a || hard day's | night and I've been  |
Bb / /  /      | C / / / |
working like a | dog     |

(2) alternate version:
           C    F     C
It's been a hard day's night and I've been
Bb             C
Working like a dog

Or some other format that a band can use when some of them say they don't
necessarily need the notes (the bass player for example).
Do you see the possibility of adding such a feature, or something like it 
to
already existing software and have the result printed out as a PS file?
