Re: [abcusers] Copyright Issues ... One More Kick At The Can
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Frank Nordberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes years ago. Can't remember how much, but it was certainly far less than the printing cost of all the brochures they've sent me, and definitely not worth the time I spent filling in those forms they require for each and every piece of music. So - its a con?

Re: [abcusers] ABC parser output data structure.
I've been poking around the web a little bit and I came upon http://libmusicxml.sourceforge.net/ This is an open source project that I think is really similar to what we're thinking about, except that it is written for MusicXML. If we use the same structure that they've used, then any package that uses that can also import ABC with very little work, and alternately, any package we write for ABC will also be able to import MusicXML. I haven't looked deeply at their package yet, but I think they haven't done any cross language support, so we would have to add that. I plan on studying it and seeing if there is a way to use their code as a library and we would just need to concentrate on the parsing itself.

Re: [abcusers] Copyright indication / version indication
From: Phil Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also, does anyone put a version number or a date on their tunes? It seems like everytime I pass out music to my band it gets written on and I have to change something and print it out again. It's sometimes hard to tell which is the newest copy. Is there a particular field you use for that? Z: is for transcription info: transcriber's name, date etc. A version number would seem appropriate here. Hmm, don't know there. From my view point at folkinfo, we already record date and time of last update and for more significant updates give a reason for it (shown on a list of recent changes as are songs added). I could easily carry the info for something like an abc correction (one we always do note - it's just minor spelling corrections we ignore) into the pdf we provide for printing but modifying the Z for the abc itself is one I'd prefer to avoid. Z may or may not exist, may or may not have version numbers already added, etc. The alternative for us would be for me to try to persuade the few I can get to contribute on the editing side not only changing the entry on our changes record but also updating a version/date and time on the Z... From that sort of perspective, a field designated for version information would be nice. I would not need to hold that in the abc field of the database but could just add it to the abc requested.

From: Jon Freeman [EMAIL PROTECTED] From that sort of perspective, a field designated for version information would be nice. I would not need to hold that in the abc field of the database but could just add it to the abc requested. Actually, now I come to think about it, I could use a % comment...

Something like: N:(c) Copyright Joe Blow would print at the bottom of some abc software if printing notes are enabled. To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
