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
