microabc is a program which generate macros to represent microtonal
music in ABC notation. It is intended for use along the preprocessor
abcpp (for the programs refered to, see links below, at the end of
this file). The post-processed ABC code is suitable for abcm2ps
and/or abcMIDI. Other related tools are scala and timidity++.
The program reads commands and data, and outputs a list of macro
definitions. Macro replacements can be: chromatic, diatonic,
microtonal or literal.
Chromatic and diatonic modes are useful to generate MIDI files to be
re-tuned with the program scala or played by timidity++. They can also
be used to generate a mapping for standard staff notation
(tablature-wise approach).
Microtonal mode computes pitch quantisation relative to the standard
equal temperament (quarter-tones, eighth-tones, etc.), using
microtonal ABC accidentals for abc2midi or abcm2ps.
Hudson--thanks for doing this work. As a composer who employs microtonal
techniques, I can find this useful. However it seems problematical if you are
implementing only quarter-tones, eighth-tones, etc. What/how would one be
able to write in, say, 19-, 22- or 31- equal, which are all very common
temperament schemes, due to their consonance properties?
Literal mode uses given replacement text strings.
Would this be the answer to the above?
There is also a command to write into a file a list of frequencies,
for use by timidity++.
Great! ;)
