I decided to check to see whether my abc2ps clone (jcabc2ps) handles all the cases, and found a couple of bugs. I've fixed them, and a test case can be seen at: http://trillian.mit.edu/~jc/music/abc/src/jcabc2ps/abc/Chords_Length.abc http://trillian.mit.edu/~jc/music/abc/src/jcabc2ps/ps/Chords_Length.ps If anyone wants the source, it's at: http://trillian.mit.edu/~jc/music/abc/src/jcabc2ps-src.tar.gz I've gotta take another look at merging my stuff with abcm2ps. But all too often, playing tunes is higher priority. And there's that silly job that they're paying me money to do. Gotta get back to work now ...
