ABC is not just a computer thing.
I know quite a few musicians who can play you the tune from the ABC notation.
Also, when I'm in a session and someone plays a tune I'd like to remember, I can simply note down the first few bars in ABC more quickly (and more legibly) in ABC than stave notation.
From what is being said on the list, I gather MusicXML would not have thisinterface to the real world.
Also, my sincere thanks to all the enthusiasts who've helped make ABC the great tool that it is.
