Hello, from time to time I come across abc text where I want to change the L: value, to say it more precise the value of one letter in the text, for the whole tune, after it is written.
often it is that I want to change a tune from: `a/b/c/d/ ag b2' to `abcd a2g2 b4' Is there a tool that can perform such a change ? there is some idea in my mind of an ideal tool which counts the "noteheads" i.e. the number of characters needed at differen L:values, so it is possible to optimize/minimize the number of characters needed by telling which is the best L: value for a short text (in the short example above, its 14 vs. 12 characters - last but not least this means compressing the tune size about 1/7, often it will be much more).
