Hello,
I have some questions about the accents and other signs as defined in
the ABC draft:
- !open!, !snap! and !thumb!
Could anybody tell to me what are the glyphs and the implementation
rules for these signs?
- !invertedfermata!
Shall this sign be drawn above or below the staff?
- !repeatbar!, !repeatbar2!, ...
I think it is a kind of '%' meaning the previous measure shall be
repeated, but I don't think it is an accent. Instead, it should be
indicated as a regular music sign.
Could it be 'R' or 'r' (repeat)?
The length indication, when present, would give the number of
measures, just like the multi-measure rest ('Z') I implemented in
abcm2ps.
- extensions
Many people ask for new signs, mainly text ones. I see 3 main kinds
of these last ones:
- dynamic signs, drawn below the staff, in a bold font
(!mp!, !fp!, !(f)!, ..),
- dynamic signs, drawn below the staff, in an italic font
(!Cresc.!, !Cresc - - en - - do!, !Poco riten.!),
- repeat indications, drawn above the staff, in a normal font
(!al Coda!, !FIN!, !ad lib.! - these ones may be set as guitar
chords),
but it exists many other extensions (!arpeggio!, !pinc�!, ..).
Does any ABC translator already handle such extensions?
