My only comment is a very minor one, with the standard itself (I just noticed this bug (?) in abcm2ps) -- !mp! is not in the list of dynamics. In addition, you might mention that in lyrics, the backslash mark must occur at the end of the line in order for it to be a continuation character. - Eric -- ---=---=-=-==-===-=//===//=-===-==-=-=--= <>< - "God is real, unless // Name: // Eric Galluzzo // [EMAIL PROTECTED] declared integer." // WWW: // http://w3.one.net/~eng/ -- Unknown // Work: // Synchrony // Product Engineer ---=-=-==-===-=//===//=-===-==-=-=--= <>< - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

What I meant is: why not starting with that LaTeX file (it was a clean and well structured document) and modify it according to the evolving standard (if I remember, the old standard was a stripped down text version of that document)?

You should have used a more up to date version of GhostScript (5.50 is very old now and 6.0 does a better job) and type I PostScript fonts. (pdf)LaTeX is really a very elegant way to produce PDF documents. With the hyperref package, you can easily get a smart PDF with bookmarks, hyperlinks...

As someone has been mentioned previously, it would be useful to ask Chris to link through to this site from the abc home page - at the moment there is no link to the sourceforge from the abc home page, and that's a poor situation for the average (eg not involved in the abcusers list and / or sourceforge) abc user if the sourceforge is going to be where future developments happen Steve Mansfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lesession.demon.co.uk - abc music notation tutorial and other goodies To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

[abcusers] ABC standards committee webpage
Those interested in the work of the ABC standards committee, or who want a current copy of the ABC standard or the proposed standard, should go to http://abc.sourceforge.net/standard.html. The proposed standard differs in only fairly minor ways (aside from formatting) from the old abc-draft.txt, but will acquire more differences as we figure out how to get it into shape so that we would vote for it (and hopefully so that other people on abcusers will vote for it). I welcome comments, bug reports, etc. on the new formatting; it was a non-trivial job, and may still have errors in it. -- Laura (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.laymusic.org : Putting live music back in the living room.
