it's true I often recommended Abc to several musicians I know, but found it difficult to tell them it's not that user-friendly to set up. I always recomment AbcMus (it's obvious because it's easy to install, compact (less than 1 Mb), efficient, powerfull...), but for displaying music it's the tricky part. I generally recomment Abacus because it's easy to use and the result is good, even if it's not as complete as Abcm2ps. Does someone know if it's possible to "hack" a ghostscript version to have only the PDF export, and create a program that could directly convert abc to pdf using abcm2ps, in a minimal package ? (Ghostscript is quite huge to d/l for ppl who may don't have the necessary motivation for it at first) It's a pity Adobe don't include in their acrobat reader a PS viewer. With time acrobat reader grow for each new version, but there are few real useful improvements. ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français !
