no, unless you redefine the PostScript code that draws noteheads. If you
can't do it yourself, I may consider experimenting - but don't hold your
breath.
2) Can I put multiple slashes across the stem of a note?
You could always use liquid paper, white-out the notes heads and redraw
them in as X's with a sharpie permanent marker.. Ha..Ha..

Oh dear,
I've asked this question here before and got the correct answer, but I have forgotten
it:
What do I put at the top of my abc source to move the whoe piece down the page ? In
other words, how do I set a top margin ?
Is there an archive for this list ?

There's no general answer to this, as it depends on what
Well, you could output them as tiffs, gifs or jpegs and then open then
up in photoshop or The Gimp.

Here is some more feedback that Guido sent me earlier this year on the same
topic:
I'm trying to print drum parts. Is there a way to convert and print with
abcm2ps or do you know how it can be done? Drummers do not like standard
notation.
I know, you drummers use those funny-shaped notes.
Nah. What I want to do is print a tune unto a page which has already has a tune
printed
on it !
It is definately possible, but I have just forgotten how :-(
Thanks a lot.
Isn't that what the pseudocomment %%titlespace is for?
I think the default is 10 or 20, so if you put
If it didn't have to be ABC you could use Muse
http://www.musements.co.uk/muse
which has X, diamond, square or ellipse.
However if you then save as ABC that information would not be included in
the file.

I have been using ABC2win and found it inadequate for transcribing songs or
choral music so I downloaded John Atcherly's ABC2ps program, but can't
figure out how to get at it. The instructions seem to assume that you have
done things they don't need to tell you about. I assume that this is a DOS

There is abc2ps and there seem to be a few clones (abcm2ps, jabc2ps, yaps,

My two cents:
From my limited experience (the better part of two weeks),
I started with yaps, because I was originally only trying to listen to
abc files, and yaps came with the abcmidi package (from sourceforge).
Yaps did a nice job rendering abc's into ps, but I had some problems

oh, you should probably use Abcm2ps, it's newer and better than
the old abc2ps.
Binaries and helps can be found on Guido Gonzato's website. I
don't have the url here you can find it with www.google.com and
If you have access to a linux system, you can always create the
new symbols using the application PfaEdit
http://pfaedit.sourceforge.net/
It works fine. Then, with the %%deco option in abcm2ps, you can
add new symbols.
I'm currently working on such stuffs, it's not that easy but it works.
