The inventor of ABC is a folk musician, so that may be an influence. That's what I do too, so it's ideal for me. > Do you use abc2midi I have used it, but I can read music well enough to know if it's right just by looking at it unless it's a complex score with jazzy harmonies! I see ABC more as a tool for producing printed output, not for playing via MIDI. One time I used abcmidi on a tune that happened to be in 3/4 and it added a completely inapropriate Oom-pa-pa waltz accompaniment (it was supposed to be a lyrical song). After that I didn't bother with it much :-) -- Anahata anahata@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -+- http://www.treewind.co.uk Home: 01638 720444 Mob: 07976 263827
