I'm not sure it's so simple. The L: field is transparent in the output of abc (both as printed staff notation and as sound realization). It's only there as a convenience for the person typing the abc. I think most people view metronome markings as representing the value of the note in the denominator of the time signature (the M: field) than the note in the L: field. This is certainly true in the most common 4/4 or 3/4 meters which might have L:1/8 but be counted in quarter notes. In 6/8 and similar meters the dotted quarter is generally included in the tempo marking to show that it is the reference note length. David Barnert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Albany, N.Y.
