1. Put the sample format file in a plain text file. Name it, say,
trial.fmt
The file name must end in .fmt
2. Put the file trial.fmt in the same folder as the .abc file you wish to
format.
3. In abc4mac, choose Command Line Options from the Preference menu. To the
default command line add:
-F trial
Thus, assuming you aren't doing anything else special, you would have:
-F trial -o -O =
Make sure that you use a capital F (not f) and that you omit the extension
.fmt in the command line.
(I'm using abc4mac 0.5. Later versions should support .fmt files too.
Earlier versions will not.)
