I was thinking of a GIF/MIDI parser really - andone that dose not need the backed of abc(m)2ps.
I know it's possible - there's a midi class out there, and GD could be used to create the GIFs. Acrobat PDF is not really a requirement, I only want to be able to provide my users with sheet music embedded into a html (or from a database) page. and let them play a midi file - if they want anything else they can put the ABC through ABC2WIN or one of those kind of programs. I still think this would be a worthwhile excercise - all PHP. If you look at the source to abc(m)2ps or another command line program like this, it's only a matter of converting everything to PHP. (which of course is better as it can run on any server with PHP, my web host won't let me install any of the command line routines that are in compiled C) Dafydd. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Taylor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2004 2:21 PM Subject: Re: [abcusers] Anyone up for writing a little script?

Both said it was corrupted. I tried the postscript version and Ghostscript barfed on that too. I'd guess this is something going wrong with abc(m)2ps, rather than the php, but you might want to take a look at it Atte.
