My HARMONY is not to be confused with Harmony Assistant, of course. I
believe I was first to use the name, back in 1996, but I may be wrong there.

seen it appear on the list, and I discovered a problem with my sending

I just completed a transcription of Robert Petrie's 1st tunebook
(Scottish,
1790), which has parts for violin and cello. I wrote the code using
Phil
Taylor's BarFly, on which this reads and plays correctly, but it appears
that a lot of other abc software can't handle the multiple voices.
Below is
a sample tune; I'd be interested to know what other readers and midi
players
can handle this code, especially any PC software (for reference, the 2nd
note in the 3rd staff bass line is middle C). Thanks for any help, or
suggestions for improving the portability of this code! -Steve
