[abcusers] Multivoice in ABC 2.0
I have come to the point in my software where I must give consideration to multivoice typesetting I intend to allow V:score as an alternative to %%score. The concept of removing voices from a particular typeset version of the ABC field is excellent, but as far as I can tell there is no way of affecting the inline words. Once included in the file they will be printed out whenever their attached line is output (I presume). I am quite happy to go with whatever version of %%score is accepted but I think a decision is required on inline words. Further, I intend to allow the omission of square brackets around voice field specifiers at the start of lines in the tune body. I cannot see the necessity for this construct.

Re: [abcusers] Jazz Notation Style (Right link)
David, The sample file looks great. I've downloaded spe.zip and wxbasic (0.52). And when I try to run spe I get this window: Syntax error on line number 168 of spe.wxb Null has not been declared global frame = New wxFrame( Null, -1, PROG_NAME) I'm using Slackware 8.1 linux. I think that could be interesting to make a script that change the postscript definitions of an existing ps file. It's really simple to make it. You will need a copy of wxBasic (http://wxbasic.sf.net) to run it, or if that's too much of a hassle, I can create a stand-alone Windows executable. It would be helpful if you attach me a stand-alon Windows executable. Regards, Luis Pablo Gasparotto To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
Re: [abcusers] Jazz Notation Style (Right link)
I've created an executable version of my Simple Postscript Editor (spe.exe) which can be found at: http://webs.lanset.com/dcuny/spe.zip I've also made a correction to the code so it will load .SPE files even if they aren't in the current directory. It appears to run just fine under Wine using Knoppix 3.2; YMMV. I haven't had a chance to incorporate any of the changes that Luis suggested. That's just as well, because the PostScript code that it generates uses 'stroke' instead of 'fill' for debugging purposes. -- David Cuny To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

I've mentioned this before, but you might find this of interest. I've been working on an editor (spe.wxb) for creating PostScript instructions for abc2ps glyphs. You can find a copy of the program here: http://webs.lanset.com/dcuny/spe.zipIt's not complete, but the output is quite usable. There's a hacked version of the "Sentimental Journey" demo (journey.ps) included that uses Jazz fonts created with it by tracing Sigler's JazzFont (http://www.jazzfont.com/). You will need a copy of wxBasic (http://wxbasic.sf.net) to run it, or if that's too much of a hassle, I can create a stand-alone Windows executable.It's pretty easy to create glyphs with it. You can load a reference image by choosing Reference | Open Reference Image and then trace a path around it with Path | Create New Path. Right clicking path points toggles them between on and off curve points. File | Write PostScript will generate a test.ps file of the glyph, and File | Write abcm2ps Code will generate PostScript code that is (more or less) compatible with abcm2ps.With a bit of tweaking, it can also import simple PostScript instructions (basically, 'curve' statements).The project is temporarily on hold while I work on other projects, but if there is interest in this, let me know.-- David CunyTo subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
