Subject: Re: [abcusers] Wanted: ABC transcription of Terpsichore
Please forgive my intrusion, but, have any of you looked at Melody
Assistant? It's done well for me. However, my needs are simple and that may
be a show stopper.
John H. Burton, Ph.D.
Suisun City, CA 94585
have found Melody Assistant to be excellent in reading ABC file ->
score/Midi
AND Midi files/ Scores -> ABC on top of which the Midi instrument options
makes very pleasant listening. I have contemplated upgrading to
Harmony Assistant - but have no idea if it would be any better.
But Melody Assistant is ACE for ABC!
