Again, I think you guys might be misunderstanding what I was complaining about. The length of a whole line can essentially be stretched out by adjusting the scaling of the PDF image before you print it. But the spacing between notes within a measure is what appears cramped to me. This is also

Ok, Atte. I will check that out when I get to it. So it's possible to adjust existing abc tunes without major rewrites? A more global way of setting up the note-to-note spacing? Don Atte Andre Jensen wrote: On Wed, 5 Jun 2002, Don Parrish-Bell wrote: Again, I think you guys might be

I just realized that a big part of the problem was that we had downloaded a bunch of tunes in GIF format ... thus the low-res of some of them. But even the spacing in some of the PDF's I've downloaded is a bit tight. Overall, though, I'm amazed at how well abc and its conversion tools work.

Yes, MusicTime definitely has some weird little quirks, but for $25.00 it wasn't too bad. It doesn't do TAB at all and it won't let you write a lyric chord sheet. Also it's not OLE-compatible, so you can't take a passage out of it and paste it into Word, for example. My wife has used it

The only part of ABC that I could see that would affect how cramped together a peice of music would look in staff notation is the length of individual lines. Most ABC to Staff converters I know of do not break lines of ABC into multiple lines of staff notation. Obviously, the same piece of
