Thanks Phil, I'll look into it, and suggest it to anyone who asks. Unfortunately, the majority of the people I interact with who use abc just dump it into the concertina.net tune-o-tron (http://www.concertina.net/tunes_convert.html), which uses abc2ps, abc2midi and ghostscript; or download tunes from JC's ABC Tunefinder as pdf files (John, does your site also use abc2ps as an intermediate step in going to pdf? What about the MIDI generator?). Since I planned to post this transcription I was looking for a format that even the dumbest abc translator could read! It's frustrating having to deal with the situation where the most-used program isn't the best one! -Steve -- Steve Wyrick - Concord, California To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
