Re: [abcusers] Sorting ABC files
This refers to the number of characters. The limit was imposed because the program uses fixed size arrays for efficient reading of large files. I will increase the limit, and also work to replace the arrays by collections, which do not need bounds or resizing. How large is your file?

Re: [abcusers] Sorting ABC files
Neil File is approx 7Mb (15,000 tunes), but could get to about 10Mb eventually I guess I don't know how many characters that is, but I suppose each tune would average about 500 characters Regards DerekNeil Jennings [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This refers to the number of characters.

[abcusers] abc format to chord chart
I'm looking for a simple program (DOS, Windows, JAVA, C, BASIC or FORTRAN - yeah right) that will take an abc format file and convert it to a chord chart while preserving the lyrics if they are included in the abc format file. Does such a program already exist? I did spot a perl script written by Anselm Lingnau a few years back that could certainly be transformed.
