I have made a lot of progress with MOZART's abc import, but as you indicate I still have a long way to go. I am trying to steer clear of multipart files until a spec turns up. (MOZART's main difficulty is that it is fussy about the number of beats in a bar. I know Music Publisher isn't. There are swings and roundabouts - but given that a lot fo Chris Walshaw's first simple examples - an obvious place to start - do not respect the number of beats in a bar, I suspect you had an easier time of starting than I did.) > But the "23 different ways" is with us already it seems to me. > Downloading files from various sources on the net has given a LOT of > differences which can't all be correct at the same time.

Unless you can prove otherwise ... :-) Always the optimist eh Bernard?
