Dear ABC friends,
...And now for something completely different!
When abcm2ps creates its postscript output, it shades
the staff lines by adding tiny gray lines beneath the
black lines. This looks wonderful when you print the
output, but unfortunately it doesn't look as nice when
you convert the resulting PS file to gif or png for
display on the web.
Is it possible to instruct (or modify) abcm2ps to
create pure black and white PS output (without gray
values) and to draw the staff lines as thin as
possible? This way the output would look much clearer
on the web.
In fact I found a music program (musicator) that
creates exactly the type of clear and simple gif images
that I need for the web. Here follows an example:

Note also that the thin sans-serif letters used here
are much better readable on the web than the thick
Times letters that are used by default by abcm2ps.
Now, is it possible to tweak abcm2ps to create the same
type of clear low resolution output as musicator? And
what postscript font should I select?
Groeten,
Irwin Oppenheim
