Hi all,
abc received its share of thrashing lately, didn't it? So I thought it would
be fair to say a couple of words in its defense...
Far from stating that abc is *the* music format of heavens and earth, let's
remind that the types of music it currently supports is amazingly large. I
don't kno
John, Laura,
this message is for you in particular. I'm wondering if John wishes to
join us and become a SourceForge developer? He could just upload his stuff
there, so that I could arrange for small things like providing binaries,
polishing the archives a bit etc.
John, how about it?

He has. (Actually, both John Atchley and John Chambers have.) We
now have 7 developers signed up.
Hi all,
I'm going to touch a subject that I know some of you have strong feelings
against. The most apparent difference between abc2ps and abcm2ps is the
looks of bar lines: the latter has tall bar lines that cross the vocal part.
IIRC, John set out to write jabcm2ps because he couldn't stand tho

Done! I signed up over the weekend. I tried to upload the RPMs to the pub
directory last night and was refused permission, both as anonymous and using
my sourceforge account and password. Once I figure sourceforge out I'll
upload the RPMs.
BTW, I swatted a couple of minor bugs that haven't mad

I don't think that's quite what anyone was intending to do. Someone
asked what Finale could do that ABC couldn't, and people answered
that question.
I admit I have

I'll take a look at it. The change I made for this was only a few lines of code,
but I remember that it did i

if I were the user in your scenario I'd rather see an immediate "phut" then watch

Maybe it's my dirty mind, but I'd vote against that particular name.
