Re: [abcusers] A question about beams

2003-07-10 Thread DottieB

From: Alasdair McAndrew [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Suppose I have the following:

 K:HP
 M:2/2
 L:1/8

 defg

 Then there will be a single beam joining all notes, with an extra
beam between
 the e and the f.  But what I would like, rather than this extra
beam, is an
 extra flag on the e pointing backwards, and an extra flag on the f
pointing
 forwards.  Is this possible with abc/abcm2ps?


I don't know, but on ABC2win, if you put a space between the e and the
f, you'll get what you want. Did you try that?

  What's the meaning of the parentheses when there is no number? It
  doesn't seem to be a shortcut for (2 - or is it? Play 2 in the
time of
  2? g

 Parentheses without a number are used to slur notes.


But the notes are the same! My abc2win program printed them as tied,
but that is strange because a half note could have been used instead
of two tied quarter notes! (I think it also sounds better if both
notes are played, not held, but that's another matter.)

 If you sight-read music in 4/4, it's easier to follow
 the music if the note that falls on the third beat is
 always notated separately.
 

Good point!

[abcusers] Tune Finder question

2003-07-07 Thread DottieB
John, in your tune finder, are all the tunes present in all the
formats?

When I'm looking for a tune, I'll click on one of the ABC's at random.
Sometimes I get the tune, and sometimes I get a notice that the file
is empty.

 I have recently noticed that I stopped receiving the abc list (I'm
 subscribed to the digest) about two months ago. I last posted in
 early March, and looking at the archives, posts from mid March
 look unfamiliar, so it must have been around then. I tried to
 resubscribe at the web site, but it tells me I'm already
 subscribed.


 Anybody have any ideas as to how I can start getting the digest
 again?



Sometimes AOL blacklists internet lists from particular sites. Call
AOL and tell them you want mail from this group white listed.
Depending on who you talk to, they may or may not do anything.
