Hi all,
abc received its share of thrashing lately, didn't it? So I thought it would
be fair to say a couple of words in its defense...
Far from stating that abc is *the* music format of heavens and earth, let's
remind that the types of music it currently supports is amazingly large. I
don't know the first thing in modern music or jazz or whatever, but as far
as choral, baroque, and most classical music are concerned, abc is an
excellent tool that rivals other hi-end typesetting systems. Not to mention
that abc focuses on description and distribution of music, where it has so
many advantages over other formats I'd be tempted to say it wins hands down.
Let's criticize it, it will do it good, but let's not forget how nice it is
already :-)))
Later,
Guido =8-)
