About James Allwright's Linux abc HOWTO : All aspect for beginning with abc and linux seems to be here. But I use Mandrake 8.x, and all was allready configured for me : timidity, gv and ghostscript so I had no problem. With the use of a window manager such as KDE, you just have to clic to get all that, without the use of long commands. (One can easily make an association between midi files and timidity)
You could also mention tclabc (JF Moine) which permit to create, display and hear abc file on systems with tcl/tk (on linux at least, I couln't make it works on m$window$) Since it's a Howto, you could explay that using TeX (with abc2mtex) is not the best way for beginners. greetings. (sorry for the delay anwsering this message... in France, Wanadoo (ISP) doesn't permit relay with smtp, so I can only use my yahoo account with pop3, not to send via smtp. So I use web based email and I forget sometimes to post some msgs on my hard disk.) ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en fran�ais !
