Hi People. A new version of microabc is available: <http://geocities.yahoo.com.br/hfmlacerda/abc/microabc-2006-01-31.zip>
The latest version will be always at: http://geocities.yahoo.com.br/hfmlacerda/abc/microabc.zip NEWS for microabc-2006-01-31: -- Export Standard MIDI Tuning data for abc2midi; -- Several example files (19et, 22et, 24et, bohlen, just, pythagoras); -- Macro delimiters are now `[' and `]' (before they were `{' and `}'); -- Include abcm2ps' format files for microtonal accidental glyphs; -- Bug fixes. Regards, Hudson Lacerda ====================================================================== ==INTRODUCTION== microabc is a program which generate macros to represent microtonal music in ABC notation. It is intended for use along the preprocessor abcpp (for the programs refered to, see links below, at the end of this file). The post-processed ABC code is suitable for abcm2ps and/or abcMIDI. Other related tools are scala and timidity++. The program reads commands and data, and outputs a list of macro definitions. Macro replacements can be: chromatic, diatonic, microtonal or literal. Chromatic and diatonic modes are useful to generate MIDI files to be re-tuned with the program scala or played by timidity++. They can also be used to generate a mapping for standard staff notation (tablature-wise approach). Microtonal mode computes pitch quantisation in semitone fractions relative to the standard equal temperament (quarter-tones, eighth-tones, integer cents, etc.), using microtonal ABC accidentals for abc2midi or abcm2ps. Literal mode uses given replacement text strings. There is also a command to write into a file the list of frequencies, for use by timidity++. -------------------------------------------------- ==LINKS== ABC music notation <http://abcnotation.org> <http://abc.sourceforge.net> <http://abcplus.sourceforge.net> <http://geocities.yahoo.com.br/hfmlacerda/> abcpp - ABC preprocessor <http://abcplus.sourceforge.net/#abcpp> abcm2ps - ABC to PostScript (staff notation) <http://moinejf.free.fr> abc2midi - ABC to MIDI (abcMIDI package) <http://ifdo.pugmarks.com/%7Eseymour/runabc/top.html> scala - Editor, librarian, and analysis tool for musical tunings <http://www.xs4all.nl/~huygensf/scala> timidity++ - MIDI-to-WAVE converter and player <http://timidity.sourceforge.net/> ====================================================================== -- Hudson Lacerda <http://geocities.yahoo.com.br/hfmlacerda/> *Não deixe seu voto sumir! http://www.votoseguro.org/ *Apóie o Manifesto: http://www.votoseguro.com/alertaprofessores/ == THE WAR IN IRAQ COSTS == http://nationalpriorities.org/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=182 _______________________________________________________ Yahoo! doce lar.
