Hello, Group! I recently joined a Fife & Drum Corps (as a Fifer), and was handed a repertoire composed of horrible photocopies of photocopies. I then proceeded to poke around to find out the best way to re-notate all the music, and stumbled upon abc, which I decided was the best and fastest way to do it.
I have been having pretty good success in rendering the music, mainly using abcm2ps (not abc2ps) to generate printed scores, and now the Drum Sergeant is looking to see if we can use abc to generate Drum scores. Most of the notation looks like it can be rendered, but there are a couple of things I can't seem to find: 1) Can I use an "X" for a note head? 2) Can I put multiple slashes across the stem of a note? (I think that's the symbol for a roll or something) 3) Can I render a grace note without the tie? (That's a 'flam'). I'm sure there are other things too, but those are the biggies the Drum Sergeant came up with last night.
