[abcusers] [ABCp] Alpha version uploaded
I've made some changes and some testing. Everything is far from being
stable or even usable but for those that are interested I've uploaded
the source on sourceforge.net: http://sourceforge.net/projects/abcp.
I've included in the zip file the executable for re2c (as long as the
source files) to allow an easy recompilation.
I've only tested the compilation on Windows with mingw+msys (gcc) and
lcc, simply call "config lcc" or "config mingw" before doing make to
select the proper compilation option, on Win I plan to test the usual
compilers (VC, BCC, Watcom and Digital Mars).
In the zip file ("bin" directory) you will also find "abcp.exe" that
simply shows the events that would have been called together with a
packed version of the parsed fields.
If you just want to see how the pieces of an ABC get recognized simply
call "abcp file.abc".
Any comment appreciated!

Neil Does this mean that my proposal is ok for you? If you have (like the standard says): % Header P:(AB)2C ... % Body P:A P:B It would work. But also it would work if you write: %Header P:(Intro Riff)2 Coda ... % Body P:Intro P:Riff ... As a general rule, my parser tries to accomodate as many synonyms as it can. A simple example is with decorations: !f! is equal to +f+ which is equal to +forte+. R.D To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
Re: [abcusers] [ABCp] Decoration J
I don't think it is defined in the official specification. - Original Message - From: "Remo D." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: 23 October 2004 21:26 Subject: [abcusers] [ABCp] Decoration J > I still have to fix parts and continuations with the latest suggestion > but there's something else that I can do very quickly: can anyone tell > me what the decoration "J" is? > > Tnx. > > R.D > To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
