A concise way of putting it. :-) We're in a slightly different boat from some of the others though. If people want to write abc and read it using Notepad (or other ascii text app) and purely cerebral processing, then flexible notation with no exact standard may be clear enough. If people want write it by hand and only ever use one abc-specific application to print it, then only that application's dialect of abc need concern them. If your users (like some of mine) are clamouring for abc import because there's so much stuff out there, then we want to read *everything*. And life is suddenly harder without a strict standard. :-( Dave David Webber Author of MOZART the music processor for Windows - http://www.mozart.co.uk Member of the North Cheshire Concert Band http://www.northcheshire.org.uk To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
