Yes, that's what I mean...
Is there a key on your keyboard that has the | key on it, or do you 
normally have to use a composition key sequence?
Not sure what you mean... There is a key that was the |, ` and ´ 
printed on it. If I press Alt Gr-thiskey I normally get a |. But for 
some reason not inside java-applications.

RE: [abcusers] Make only lyrics and chords from abc?

The free programs at:

http://world.std.com/~gdallal/UKE.HTM

can produce the type output you mention.  Just run the
option that doesn't produce the ukulele chord diagrams.

Hi,

(please view this with a monospaced font)

With the modern software available you can obviously print
melody without 
lyrics, print one single voice out of a multivoice file etc.

It normally should also be possible to use the same abc file
to print out 
something like this:



(1) good version:

/ /  //  || C /  F /   | C /   /   /  |
 It's been a || hard day's | night and I've been  |

Bb / /  /  | C / / / |
working like a | dog |



(2) alternate version:

CF C
It's been a hard day's night and I've been 
Bb C
Working like a dog



Or some other format that a band can use when some of them
say they don't 
necessarily need the notes (the bass player for example).

Do you see the possibility of adding such a feature, or
something like it to 
already existing software and have the result printed out as
a PS file?

???

That would be possible, but considering how often we use |
in abc I don't consider that an option...

If there is no | available, perhaps you could use a
substitute character (like a / or \ or ~) and do one search
and replace at the end of your editing so you only have to
worry about the | once?

Try alt 124 (hold alt [not alt gr] key and type 124 on number pad before
releasing alt)
