To Ray Davies Hi Ray You got it in one. I play and teach traditional Irish tenor banjo and I wanted to give the *printed* sheets to my students - those who can't read music - to make the tunes a little easier to get around. But on your point about the playing of chords on player programs, I hadn't even thought about playing them with the amended "text" written in. The sound might be interesting enough or, more likely, downright godawful. Incidentally, is that how the Kinks got their ideas??!!

Any ABC written "A"a"B"b etc. will play as chords on most player programs and will sound pretty strange. But I guess you just want a print-out so it won't matter.

Re: [abcusers] Music Notation
To Frank Nordberg Thanks Frank. Took your advice and put the text *before* the note. All is now sweetness and light. It works a treat albeit somewhat cumbersome. What I've done, to try to cut down on the extra typing, is to write "A" through "G" (using them as templates) a couple of blank lines below the tune and copy 'n' paste each letter into its place. When the page is drawn you can spot any omissions, correct them then delete the templates. Thanks again.

You have to put them *before* not after each note! Frank Nordberg http://www.musicaviva.com To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
RE: [abcusers] Music Notation
To Phil Taylor Thanks for your reply, Phil, but I'd already tried it with the text of the letters ie "G", "A", etc. It works - nearly!!?? For some obscure reason it misses out the first note and designates the next as the first. Say, in 6/8 time you've written the staff notes of the first three notes as abc with the text "A" "B" "C" after each note. What you get is the first note blank with the following two showing "A" and "B" respectively. Getoutta that! But thanks again. I'll keep trying.

ABC2Win is a bit limited in that it doesn't support the w: field for aligned vocals, or the "_text" format for annotations, either of which would be a good way of doing this. If you don't mind the solfa appearing above the staff, you could use "guitar chords" like this: X:1 T:Scale of C Major M:C L:1/8 K:C "Doh"C "Re"D "Me"E "Fa"F "So"G "La"A "Te"B "Doh"c || Phil Taylor To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

Can anyone advise me if it is possible to get the ABC2Win program to write alphabetically the tonic solfa equivalent of each note below its staff equivalent? Would be grateful for suggestions. Gerry McCartney To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
