I post this as a separate thread, since it's a general ABC issue, not specifically a renaissance one: Simon Wascher wrote: ... > > I would find it much better to write the > music voice after voice.

The part extraction possibility alone is reason enough. The Danserye transcriptions are half-'n-half, btw. I started this project a while ago, but was distracted by the Praetorius Terpsichore discussion here at abcusers. When I picked it up again four days ago, I decided to change my editing policy. So the old ABCs have intermingled lines, while the new ones have the voices separated. Frank Nordberg To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
