I'll be updating the abcusers tune archive pretty soon, and wonder:
should I include Shingly Beach, or is it copyright protected?

[abcusers] Shingly Beach...s

[Jon McNamara]

I don't know how good the ABC is - I can play these 
in ABCMUS but not in ABC2WIN - so something is 
strange somewhere - if anyone knows what I'm doing 
wrong - I love to know! 

For the record: input into mozart 5, exported 
- midi, imported - Melody Assistant
and saved as ABC. (Note: I know this isn't 
using the ABC system as it should be
- it just happens to be the way the tune was 
handled!)

Two versions 1: for three instruments 2: for one 
solo instrument eg English Concertina

THe display below seems to be double spaced ... 
again I don't know why!
Still maybe the music will work for someone - and 
maybe someone much wiser than me
will tell me how to make a printout from 
ABC2WIN.On the other hand - if no-one
elase has a problem ... maybe I need tolook at my 
copy of ABC2WIN!

- good luck

Jon McNamara

Simon:
I think a double spaced abc text cannot work at all since an empty line
marks the end of a tune in abc format, for getting it working maybe just
remove the empty lines.

Re: [abcusers] Shingly Beach...s

Great tune.  Melody Assistant's abc output is a little eccentric,
so I've edited it a bit.

This is what I had to do to make it work in BarFly.

1. Remove the double spacing.
2. Remove all the extra M:,L: and K: fields, as well as the
   %!STAVE and %!INSTR stuff.
3. Insert a V:1 field before the first voice

At this stage it will play OK, but BarFly won't display it as music
unless the lines are interleaved with one another, so I used
the Format abc command to do that.

The first part has a written-out repeat, with a long rest in
between, so I edited that out:

This is fine for BarFly, but other programs don't like having
the V: fields on the same line as the music, so I fixed that.
It's much less readable, but should work in most programs:

I don't know whether abc2win can deal with this, but it should work
in most abc programs.
