[abcusers] accidentals in ()
Hi Often you see "reminder accidentals", that are actually not neccesary. Since I don't know the exact term in english I give a quice example: At some point you have a Db (the tune is in Eb) and in the next bar you have a D natural. But to make sure it's actually played "D" and not "Db" you put this reminder natural sign before it. Since it's only an reminder it's often put in brackets - I guess you all know what I'm talking about, right? Anyway; how do I get the brackets 'round the accidental in abc? -- Atte André Jensen "I don't think Microsoft is evil in itself; I just think that they make really crappy operating systems." - Linus Torvalds To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

We've discussed this; there's a similar problem in early music, where the notation didn't always include accidentals that "everybody" would know to play, and modern editors want to put them in, since "everybody" today doesn't necessarily know. And it would be useful to be able to have the MIDI play them. The best solution I know in the context of the current abc2ps is to put "(#)" above the note. This would be almost good enough for my purposes if abc2ps understood the TeX commands for entering \sharp, \flat, and \natural, but it doesn't. I have also proposed that there be an extension to the current syntax so that a ^, _, or = enclosed in parentheses would be printed that way. I don't remember anyone either disagreeing with this or rushing to implement it. If I were implementing this, I would also provide %% commands so that it was under the control of the editor whether these accidentals printed above, below, or on the staff, with or without parentheses, or didn't print at all but were just directions to player programs. -- Laura (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

abcm2ps seems to support it just fine. It is rendered as (see bitmap 1)

which is working-as-designed. I don't know if that is what you
intended. abcm2ps does also support nested slurs such as |(G(A{c}BA)

I haven't used abc2ps so I don't know if it is the same or different.
It does. I stand corrected.
Sorry

Hello everybody, I'm glad to announce this new release of abcm2ps, which includes many bug fixes (thank you, Frank, your little 'Fuga in G mol' helped a lot). Aside from bugs, this version now offers a same voice to be printed on many staves. -- Ken ar c'hentañ | ** Breizh ha Linux atav! ** | http://moinejf.free.fr/ Pépé Jef| please, on reply, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] |or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

Surely, you don't mean to say that this is "[a] problem with the O'Neill tunes." The problem is that we are using a protocol that doesn't deal well with such tunes. We've been through this before, and I realize I am in the minority on this, but I continue to feel that the K: field should describe the number of sharps or flats without naming a tonic and/or a mode. __ /\/\/\/\ __ | | | | | David Barnert __ | | | | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ | | | | | Albany, N.Y. __ \/\/\/\/ Ventilator Concertina Bellows Bellows (Vocation) (Avocation) To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
