Re: [abcusers] ABCp proof of concept
I'd have to opt for the second option. Where myTune is a C struct and it gets passed through to all the relevant apis. This sort of interface can be made to be very OO and is trivially easy to wrap in an OO wrapper for say C++ or Python etc. That seems to provide for maximim flexability. Bear in mind that you really can write very OO ANSI C, it's just that the language doesn't really encourage it. Guy Remo D. wrote: Someone stated that using ANSI C would be best but that we would definitely want to use the object oriented extensions to make it object oriented C (not C++)... Perhaps that is ANSI C today... I dunno... I haven't programed in C for 5 years and perhaps ANSI has certified an updated C spec to include the object oriented routines/extensions. There's no so such extension for ANSI C AFAIK. When you and Paul talk about OO, I think (please correct me if I'm wrong) that you really mean an OO Interface as opposed to a functional API. In other words the problem could be rephrased as follows: Should we provide classes and objects so to be able to write: myTune = abc:new(); myTune.Import(filename.abc); myPart=myTune.Parts[1]; if (myPart.Instrument == Grand Piano) ... or an API to write something like: myTune = abcNew() abcImport(myTune,filename.abc) if (abcGetInstrument(myTune,abcParts(myTune,1)) == Grand Piano) Am I correct?

Re: [abcusers] ABC parser output data structure.
More to the point if java is being chosen as a simple means for cross platform deployment then jni suddenly makes this much more complicated. You suddenly go from one distribution to n of them :( Guy Wil Macaulay wrote: Yes, I know I _can_ access them. They are no advantage to me. My Java objects are lightweight, and the same jar file can run on any platform without requiring separate compilation of JNI wrappers. I'm not trying to diminish the theoretical value of cross-language support, I'm simply suggesting that it would be low on my list of requirements (spoken as a product manager...) wil Stephen Kellett wrote: In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Wil Macaulay [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes with in your target language.

Re: [abcusers] Issues with abcm2ps---help! Profanity.
Well coming from England I'd have to say that I've never thought that it was anywhere near as bad as the 'f' word. Yes I do know what the word refers to and so it would make sense for it to be just as offensive, but I never found it to be the case in either Birmingham or London when I lived there. Now, as a Brit living in America I've become very away of how we gauge the depth of swearing based on the expectation of the listener. Back home I could say something and not have to guess about how it might be interpreted, over here I've become much more aware of what will and won't be understood as I intended. Most Americans that I've been exposed to, seem to think that saying the B word simply marks me as one of those weird Brits, and I guess that is the case whenever one uses slang that isn't commonly used by the majority of listeners. For example, what happens when an Australian asks for a roll of Durex in an English shop, or a Brit asks for a fag in San Fransisco. Oh what fun, it's bad enough when they use completely different names for things, but when the same name has such completely different meanings, well you get the idea. As an aside, since the meaning of the work is merely crude rather than blasphemous, i believe that it would count as swearing rather than profanity :) Sorry for the endless stream of blurb, but I really find this sort of thing very interesting :) Guy Andrew Lenz, Jr. wrote: Christian, I then later in life missed a chord in my folk guitar class in college and let it slip under my breath... My Australian teacher made it clear to me that the word has all the same meanings and connotations as the f word, both in her home of Australia, and also in other places sharing the same common vocabularies. Wow. Good to know. I thought, what I know now, to be the B (Australian B word) was equivalent to fooey. I stand corrected! Yipe!

Re: [abcusers] Anyone up for writing a little script?
I hate to tell you this, but lots of users switch off javascript. Unlike ActiveX and Java the code that can get executed on the client machine can't be signed and so it much harder to authenticate. It stops sites grabbing registry information on the fly (say my email address), as well as making sure that unexpected code doesn't get executed on my machine. As it happens I tend to leave javascript enabled, but there are quite a few people who switch it off (even ones in the UK).

Yeah, but sensible users run with JavaScript and all other scripting turned off, so you'd only get the info from clients with little sense. ;-) The recent warnings from the Dept of Homeland Security about IE are just the latest in a long series of warning about what could happen if you browsed with scripting enabled.

Re: [abcusers] Slides in fiddle music
That worked nicely, don't quite know why it didn't occur to me in the
first place. I have to say that my knowledge of postscript is nigh on
non-existent, but I did find that this worked:
% A downwards slide after the note, heavily based on /sld
%%postscript /dsld{M 17.2 -4.8 RM
%%postscript -1.8 -0.7 -4.5 0.2 -7.2 4.8 RC
%%postscript 2.1 -5 5.4 -6.8 7.6 -6 RC fill}!
%%deco dslide 1 dsld 20 0 0
Thanks for the pointer.

If you know any PostScript, this doesn't sound too hard. You need to find the
name of the PS routine that draws the slide (might well be slide...use the
source, Luke), and wrap some code around it to redraw it upside down and to
the side...these are fairly simple operations in PS, though it's so long
since I've done it that I'm not confident in providing more details. If you
haven't already done so, get Guido's guide to ABC off abcplus.sf.net. It has
a section on adding your own PS decorations, which is how you'd include your
new code.
