Ben Collver emailed me about these music players, and I wanted to re-share here:
>> from https://archive.org/details/abcmidi-20231101-for-dos abcMIDI is a package of programs written in C for handling ABC music notation files. The software was created by James Allwright in the early 1990 and presently maintained by Seymour Shlien. It initially included the following programs: 1. abc2midi for converting an abc file to a midi file, 2. abc2abc for transposing abc notation to another key signature, 3. midi2abc for creating an abc file from a midi file, 4. yaps for producing a PostScript file displaying the abc file in common music notation and, 5. mftext for creating a text representation of a midi file. >> from https://archive.org/details/abcm2ps-8.14.2-for-dos abcm2ps is a C program which converts music tunes from the ABC music notation to PostScript or SVG. Based on the abc2ps version 1.2.5 from Michael Methfessel, it was first developped to print barock organ scores that have independant voices played on one or many keyboards and a pedal-board (the 'm' of abcm2ps stands for many or multi staves/voices). Since this time, it has evolved so it can render many more music kinds. The features of abcm2ps are closer to the ABC draft 2.2 (February 2013).
