Re: [abcusers] Sorting ABC files

This refers to the number of characters. The limit was imposed because the program uses fixed size arrays for efficient reading of large files. I will increase the limit, and also work to replace the arrays by collections, which do not need bounds or resizing.

How large is your file?

I have just tried the new version of Harmony, which now has the ability
to sort abc files by title, and save them in the new sorted order, and
it works very well, but it has a file size limit of '1000000'


What does '1000000' refer to, ie lines, tunes, characters ??

For some time I have been trying to find a way to sort a large tunefile
to use on a handheld, since it really is no use unless it is sorted, since
it is albut impossible to find the tune quickly

The file I have in mind currently has about 15,000 tunes, and will continue
to grow as I merge in new tunes - since the idea is to carry all the tunes
on the handheld for use on 'PalmABC', ahich requires all the abc's to be in
one file

Then if I come across a good new tune while out & about, the chances are
I can look it up and learn it without logging on to net

Is it actually necessary to have a maximum file size in Harmony ??

Any ideas

Regards

Derek

Rewriting the abc file sorted alphabetically has now been implemented, and
will be available in the next release of HARMONY

I will try and get it ino the next release, due sometime before Christmas

(v 3.2.5 will also support multi-voice abc files and font directives, to
name just a few improvements)

I'd like that facility to be able to rewrite the file in the new

alphameric

sequence
If you could add this I would be very grateful
I've been after this facility for some time to enable me to make up one

big

alphameric
file for use on my handheld

Thanks

Derek Bone

My program HARMONY can present the list of files within an abc tunebook

in

either title or number sequence.
If anyone wants the file written out in a new sequence, I could easily

add

that facility.

(Download HARMONY shareware from www.greenhedges.com. Its original

function

was to add chords to a tune but it now does much more)

I've written a little routine which runs under Windows 3.1, 95, 98
It's a bit like Noddy, wobbles a bit, but the bell on the hat still

rings.
