Other than the files that come with abcm2ps, which explain the switches
you can add in the command line to alter formatting, I am not aware of a
tutorial per se.
Basically what abcm2ps - and all the related XXps programs - do is

Thanks for the response,Chris. I'm running Win98 so DOS is not a problem. I
have operated in DOS on a limited level, but it seems like I'm stepping into
a bunch of disconnected jargon when I try to get anywhere with this
postscript stuff. I'm not sure how ghostview relates to the ABC program or

You don't say which version of Windows you are using - if it is post

ABCm2ps in these circumstances needs the full command line in order to
work. (i.e. after the "abcm2ps" you need to add the name of the file you
want to opera
I cannot get my any copy of ABCm2ps to operate on my system. The author has
not responded and I'm stuck with ABC2win which does nice job on tunes, but
can't handle lyrics. There does not seem to be a tutorial around for the
