Hi Hugh, I haven't heard of any perl scripts to convert ascii tabs to lilypond (apart from your script. Sounds interesting!) but I know of two programs that are supposed to be able to import ascii and export MusicXML (with musicxml2ly you can convert to LilyPond):
1) GuitarPro (commercial) 2) Harmony Assistant (commercial) With GuitarPro 5 (Mac-version) I can open .txt/.tab-files but tablature is faulty and the program crashes when I try to export MusicXML. Harmony Assistant seems to do a rather decent job but I only tried the demo version. http://www.myriad-online.com/en/products/harmony.htm TablEdit could be an alternative. It can also read ascii and you can export it to abc and midi. (With abc2ly and midi2ly you can convert to lilypond.) http://tabledit.mac.findmysoft.com/ There also seems to exist a solution to convert from midi to ascii and vice versa but I haven't tried it. http://www.gnmidi.com/handbook/english/txt2midi.htm hth patrick -------- Original-Nachricht -------- > Datum: Thu, 3 Dec 2009 05:05:00 -0700 > Von: Hugh Myers <[email protected]> > An: Federico Bruni <[email protected]> > CC: lilypond-user <[email protected]> > Betreff: Re: Is there a perl script to partially convert ascii tabs to > lilypond input? > I asked the question (after googling I might add ;-) ) because I > figured if anything was on going it would have been heard about here. > Mostly I asked in order to avoid re-inventing the wheel.
