Jean-Francois, I just got around to trying out your suggestion below for enclosing a note in parentheses:
> > Yes, you may use annotations: > > "<("">)"A And it doesn't work. Instead of getting a note in parentheses, what I get is a "guitar chord" that looks like this: <( >) The program does not seem to be properly interpreting the symbols as text annotations. Here's my exact lines from the .abc file: M:C L:1/4 K:G "G/B"B,C "G"DF|"G/E"G2 B2|"Am"C4|"D"z2 z/ "<("">)"C/ B,/C/|"Bm"D/B,F,3| w:fun-ny, but the bells don't ring. * It's a qui-et thing. w:think you'd hear the cho-ir sing, but it's a qui-et thing. (Note the parentheses should be around the middle C in the fourth measure for the word "but" in the second verse.) BTW, I'm using abcm2ps-2.11.3 (May 5, 2002) if that makes any difference. And, this below: > > or a user defined decoration (from deco.abc): > > %%postscript /opnot{ > %%postscript M -6 -3 RM /Times-Roman 16 selectfont (\( \)) show}! > %%deco () 1 opnot 0 0 0 > > !()!A I can't get to work either. Do I have to place something special in my file to get it use deco.abc? Thanks a lot, Chris To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
