I've never quite been able to understand AbcMus's syntax. Could you explain it? BarFly defines stress programs in a separate file. Here is the first definition from that file: * 1 % Just an ID (like X: in an abc tune) Hornpipe % Name (must match that in the R: field) 4/4 % Metre (must match that in the M: field) 1/2=90 % Default tempo (as in Q: field) 8 % Divide each bar into 8 segments 110 1.4 % notes in first segment, velocity 110, duration 1.4 x nominal 90 0.6 % second segment, velocity 90 duration 0.6 x nominal. 110 1.4 90 0.6 110 1.4 90 0.6 110 1.4 90 0.6 % and so on down to the last segment. For notes which persist through more than one segment, the velocity is determined by the segment in which the note starts, but the duration is determined by combining the durations from all the segments through which it passes. There's a much more detailed explanation in the file itself, but that's enough to give you the gist of it. Phil Taylor ------------------------ Yahoo!
