| Just using the scotland.abc supplied with abc2ps, I see it prints all the
| gracenotes with ickle phrase marks, slurs, whatever they're called (OK, I'm a
| piper, so shoot me :) ). Is there any way of killing these off? I've done a
| wee (note wee) bit of C in the past, so if it involves a bit of hacking code,
| that's fine (i've already tried messing with some of the #defines, but got
| nowhere. I'd also like to turn the single gracenotes into 'normal'
| gracenotes, ie with the three tails.
There's a "slurgraces" format thingy that controls this.
You can insert this line in your tune:
%%slurgraces 0
This will turn those slurs off entirely.
I've long thought that such slurs should be handled with
the usual parens, as in ({c}d), but the code for this turns
out to be a bit tricky, and I haven't figured out how to do
it yet.
| I'm also having difficulty with a more 'normal' issue: I can't get the (same)
| tune to print out in regular lines of four bars. I've tried
|
| ./abc2ps scotland.abc -B 4 -a 1.0 -o
|
| but it seems to make no difference. Anything further that can be done?
Well, I usually just end every fourth bar with '|' and a
newline, and that does it. Is there a reason you can't do
this?
| Oh, is this list archived anywhere? Obviously, I'll stop asking silly
| questions if I can find an archive and abuse that instead :)
Yeah; let's see; where is it? ... It seems to be at

(There's a strange Gaelig title at the top, but it does seem
to contain abcusers messages.)
