no, it's not a bug, but a thing done on purpose. Personnaly I don't think it was a good idea to make it a standard. I've written a message here some years ago about this issue, it's easy to recompile old sources of abc2midi using in the file store.c : ratio_a = 2; ratio_b = 6; (6 instead of 4, which made the Hornpipe rythm) so broken rythm is now "correct" for all sort of music, and I can use it by default instead of typing in each tune "%%MIDI ratio 3 1". I say the old sources, because I think with the new maintainer of the sources, it as been made as default. Btw talking about abc2midi and abcm2ps : >Its sound output wasn't that good last I heard, and I haven't got >a computer that can run it. Nor is it much good at transposing >tunes, cataloguing tune files or importing MIDI. I don't think abc2midi can catalogue tunes, but so far it can transpose tunes and import midi :) And with some perl script it's possible to renumber tunes and probably list them as well. ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en fran�ais !
