Re: [abcusers] Re: abc and microtonality
I must admit that I like Buddha Buck's idea the best. I'd like to suggest a small modification in case someone ever needs a subdivision of the whole tone smaller than 1/8. 1. The step size should be defined in a special field in analogy to the default fraction specified in the L: field (as Irwin Oppenheim suggested) 2. _# and _## resp. ^# and ^## should denote step sizes in respect to the default fraction 3. _### or ^### should denote deviations in cent (with a leading 0). Example: ^098A. These deviations should be printed above the notes (without leading 0) just like chord symbols (this is standard in some microtonal literature). Please let me know what you think.

Or, to be consistent with the rest of abc, we could just put a length after an accidental. So _2/3A would be an A that is flatted 2/3 of a The _# notation is already consistent with the rest of ABC. See, note lengths are always given relative to the default fraction specified in the L: field. The default fraction of the _# notation just happens to be an 1/8th. Wouldn't a resolution of an 1/8th note be sufficient for musical notation?

Re: [abcusers] Re: abc and microtonality
Sorry, what I meant was ratio not step size. I still think this should defined in a separate line. I might use an incomplete abc implementation (only the things I really need) in my own real-time notation program; I'll leave it to others to integrate Buddha Buck's or my suggestions in their more complete implementations. Nevertheless, it would be nice to see whether or not there could some agreement in the abc community on microtonal notation. Regards, Georg On Thursday, June 26, 2003, at 06:42 PM, I.

Re: [abcusers] The ABC applications database
Hello All, From: Steve Mansfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] The abc it kicks out is very basic so there's no V: support or anything like that - it's just a bit of fun really I wanted to ask about V: - I understand this adds parallel voices. Let me introduce myself: I'm the author of the MOZART music notation software (url in sig) and I am belatedly getting round to adding support for abc. I've been reading the May 2000 abc spec 1.7.6 but I believe that is just for a single line of music. Is there an official description/specification of the V: extension anywhere?
