You can use / as a shortcut for /2, which makes the tune more readable. Also it helps to insert spaces between all the notes which aren't beamed, as this also improves readability.

I went blind a few years ago and decided to learn how to play the violin. Bach Minuet 1 is on the first Suzuki violin CD. That's how far I've gotten so far. In fact, I'm kind of iffy on the concept of a key, and very iffy on meter. we just haven't covered thos concepts yet. But I couldn't find Minuet 1 anywhere else so I figured I'd give it a shot.

Some ABC processing programs emit warnings/errors if the bars do not have the correct number of beats in them according to the key signature. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phil Taylor Sent: 11 March 2004 16:12 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [abcusers] Newbie Attempt at Bach Minuet 1 On 11 Mar 2004, at 16:00, John Heim wrote: At 09:45 AM 3/11/2004, Phil Taylor wrote: Bar lines would be nice.

Webmaster Atté is one of our Danish brothers from the south. Anyway, since there seems to be big band musicians on the list, here's a little belated christmas gift: http://home.online.no/~frnordbe/bb-blackbird-bb/ (Sorry about the messy fonts, I never intended my big band arrangements to be distributed digitally at all.) And, oh yes, a challenge: Can anybody come up with a good abc transcription of this arrangement?

Re: [abcusers] Newbie Questions
The advice on how to handle automatic measure numbering by *NOT* putting it into the abc file is particularly valuable. I'm interested in long-term viability of my abc files. I manage my wife's vocal songbook (in her keys, my arrangements) as well as my own arrangements of instrumentals of various other standards. Currently the printouts are generated by Band-In-A-Box but I'm moving to abc. (I'm using 3.1.9 of abcm2ps on Linux at the moment. Gorgeous output!) Suggestions for longevity and portability are particularly helpful. I presume that the absence of a collection of jazz/pop/country standards in abc format on the net is because of copyright issues. If such an archive exists, however, I'd appreciate a pointer. Again, thank you for the excellent advice. On Thursday 26 December 2002 12:10 am, you wrote: Ed Skinner wrote: 1) Is there a FAQ?

Yes, but it is package dependent. J.F. Moine's abcm2ps, for instance, lets you specify that either of three ways: in the command line, in a format file or in the tune itself; please check files 'New.Features' and 'format.txt' for details (in abcm2ps's doc directory, e.g., /usr/share/doc/abcm2ps-version/). For portability, it would be advisable not to code this information in the abc file you intend to store tunes on a permanent basis.

I tried emailing the list owner, but to no avail. Does anyone know how to access an archive of postings to this list, or an FAQ, or a web-accessible version?
