To maintain the things simple, it seems to me that we should be happy with a few basic features, and to count on a preprocessor to do more complex things. For MIDI we could: - Use fractions of a ET semitone (relative to current tuning?) - can do 24ET, 36ET, 48ET...; - Use abc2midi "snt" commands for a possibly complete remapping of MIDI pitches; - Add a command to set up to 12-tone tunings (SMT); - Set the tuning for each ABC pitch class: 7 base pitches * 5 accidentals = up to 35 pitches, for JI, 19ET and such. Question on implementation: pitch bends? internal remapping of MIDI pitches (SMT), something else? For staff notation: - Suggest implementing quartertone accidentals; - User defined accidentals (how to do?); Are there other ideas to use (perhaps some ones from our previous messages)? -- Currently, I think use a preprocessor is a very good solution, because one can get many independent forms or output from a single (and readable) source file. This include different notations for score vs. parts, transposition, adaptation for specific software, tuning MIDI as bends vs. SMT... BTW, did you tried microabc? I would be glad to hear your opinion on it. Regards, Hudson -- '-------------------------------------------------------------------.
