[abcusers] Announce: iabc 0.4 released
Release announcement: iabc version 0.4 is released to www.sourceforge.net/projects/abc. If you only want the windows executable, download iabc_0.4.exe.zip. If you want to build it under windows or Linux, get iabc_src_0.4.tgz. If you want to build it, and you don't already have wxWindows, get iabc_0.4.tgz. If you want the Linux executable and you don't want the source, get iabc_0.4.linux_exe.tgz Changes: This is a bug fix release. - Vertical and Horizontal spacing are now pretty good. iabc makes great effort not to squish words and notes together. - iabc now parses the w: field more carefully and aligns the correct notes with the words. For the most part, lead sheet output with songwords now looks the same as in abc2ps. - dotted notations look more like real music. - Now supports 'quick open', large collections of abc tunes now open very quickly. reels.abc for example takes a second or so. - Errors in tunes other than the one you're openening are ignored. - iabc now allows 'K:Am' etc. for minor modes. ("The Limeric Tinker" now displays and prints correctly :-) - X: field the parameter is now ignored (which means we display all the tunes even if they are out of order) - Changed open file filter to include all files (*.*) - iabc doesn't 'lock' (i.e. forget to close) files anymore.

It is actually 2/2, but should be printed as a C with a line through it. 5. There's a nearly empty line at the beginning, containing only the first grace note. Most tunes from my collection become a mess too.

Thank you for the sample tune, Hank of Sweden. I will try to make less of a mess of your tunes in the next release. Aaron > It still has some serious bugs.
