To a certain extent; otherwise you end up with a complicated monstrosity that no-one supports all aspects of anyway. I don't think MusicXML fits the bill yet. It doesn't seem to support some of the constructs that I need (unless I have missed something). Well, OK, it only aims to support common Western musical notation from the 17th century onwards but I'm wondering what you're using that it doesn't support? The standard is still under active development, so if you think something's missing, you could lobby to get it added.

We play it at the speed you posted it, and I first became aware of the words one night when Billy Drislane started singing them over the ruckus. Of course the 16th notes in the A section are combined into 8th notes, that is: GBGB GB c/B/A/G/|FAFA FA d/c/B/A/| becomes: GBGB GBdd|FAFA FAdd| when singing the words. __ /\/\/\/\ __ | | | | | David Barnert __ | | | | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ | | | | | Albany, NY __ \/\/\/\/ Ventilator Concertina Bellows Bellows (Vocation) (Avocation) To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

Re: [abcusers] Re: ABC to HTML viewer
The problem with concertina.net/tunes.convert.html is that it often gives an error message: No image available -- there's probably a error in the ABC source causing the conversion to fail. I make lots of mistakes and need something much more forgiving... a beginner can just type in ABC and get music output. Enjoy!

Re: [abcusers] Re: mup
My program HARMONY certainly knows the difference between Modes, Minor and Major, as does the abc format. MIDI does NOT distinguish modes, but the key meta-event is only for documentation anyway, makes no difference to the audio output. - Original Message - From: Laura Conrad [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 October 2003 14:20 Subject: Re: [abcusers] Re: mup David == DavBarnert [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: David pdf).

Re: [abcusers] Multivoice in ABC 2.0
Hi Barry, I agree about putting things in the V: header (or other headers). V: makes sense for type specific things. I disagree about removing the [] in front of the lines for voice change. The reason is that, for instance abcd is a valid voice name in the new standard and is also valid tune body, so the parser has to work a lot harder (slower) to get this to work. Granted we could have found a better delimiter (since [ is also the start of a second ending, but [V: is not). But existing ABC parsers should already be handling this dilemma.
