<polite cough> abc2midi is not the only application that makes sound from ABC files*!* My customers find that "proof-listening" is *much* more reliable than proof-reading and the ability of Muse to make some noises that represent what's on the screen aids enormously in eliminating errors. In our band we used to have hand-written music which was full of misprints that we only found out about when a stand-in musician played what was written on the page! When we put it all on the computer we eliminated almost all of them. It doesn't have to be a wonderfully impressive performance to achieve this, indeed I almost don't want Muse to make wonderful noises - I want it to help *people* to make wonderful noises. To make a visual analogy, the music is a picture and the computer gives a line drawing, but that is enough to show that Mary's left foot on the end of her right arm. It matters! Others do care. If you are playing with applications that don't play, may your eyes be sharp and your notes on pitch! Laurie To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
