I'm forwarding this from Christoph Dalitz about his abctab2ps program. I use this program as well as Waynes'. It's free, well maintained, and does a lot of stuff with tab and staff notation, plus multi -part layouts. Has a good help manual, and Christoph is very responsive to inquiries.

Did you know that the free (GNU GPL) flabc/abctab2ps is available as an application bundle (universal binary) for MacOS X? Actually MacOS X is my primary development platform, so you can be sure that it works smoothly on this platform. Simply download the application bundle for Flabc from http://www.lautengesellschaft.de/cdmm/ install gv and gs through Fink as described here http://www.lautengesellschaft.de/cdmm/flabc.html#Q1.1 and all should work smoothly. For examples see the menu "File/Load Example" and for a detailed description of the input format see the User's Guide under "Help/Abctab2ps user's guide". Please feel free to forward this information to the lute list (but please do not disclose my email address ...). Have fun, Christoph Dalitz ------ End of Forwarded Message To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
