I'm not very good at the terminal interface on the Mac, but I'll take a look at abc2mtex. Seems to me I've used abcmidi on the Mac and abcmus is as I recall in the same package so maybe.... If I have any luck with any of this I'll report to the group.

I find that I frequently could use an index of an abc file (or set of

This would be invaluable for those situations where everyone remembers
the title but not how it starts and for other such situations.

Is there a simply way to do this (on a Mac for me)?


Abcmus will do this for Windows boxes---check out its Make
List/Index etc. command under the File menu. It's pretty flexible and
easy to use, so you can do quite a bit with it. The original abc2mtex has
a similar indexing feature, which should work on Macs--the indexing part
of the program should run, even if TeX is not installed. You can use
this to index anything from one file to your whole abc collection.
