The problem with uneven bar counts in jaabc2ps actually causes a program crash -- not
much of an effect to like ;-)

1) It will permit more accurate depiction of whistle fingering in the second and

2) It will permit users to customize the tablature to a particular whistle (because

I still haven't succeeded in FTPing the jaabc2ps RPMs to the sourceforge site

used two switches for each of 32 possible voices, one is
"%%NoDecos v yes|no" to suppress decorations for that voice, the other is
"%%DecosBelowSt v yes/no" to print decorations under the staff (v is the
voice number in both cases).

rench in the works, I'm pretty sure I've
seen a bit of abc that names the voices, instead of numbering them. I.e.
something like V: alto to switch to the voice named alto. Apparently, there must
be some package out there that uses this convention.

Not having netscape configured to recognize text/vnd might be why
none of the object examples worked, come to think of it.

middle of a tune. If you're changing from some meter to free meter in the
middle of a tune you have to print *something*, right?
I can offer it as an option though. Next time I upload the code
&&FreeMetStyle 4 will cause it to output nothing. It'll be up to the user
to use that option intelligently, though ;-)

if there is something else that really should be displayed let me know and
I'll add an option for it.

Isn't the tilde (~) a "combining" space? Abc2ps treats it that way and I'm
pretty sure it's described in the draft standard.
I use "w: 1.~First..." all the time to put the "1." and the first word of
the line together on the first note with a
re the code calls the function to insert a symbol for the meter,
where the meter is used for bar checking, and so on.
Shouldn't be too tough, just (like everything else in abc2ps) time
consuming to nail down.

Anyway, I'll look into it.
BTW, I appreciate your finding these little problems. It's hard for any
one person to catch all the little overlooked "features" in a program as
sprawling as jaabc2ps ;-)

I remember right I fixed it by changing
something in ghostscript's defaults, not in abc2ps. Just brought up the
ghostscript viewer and I think what I changed was in the "media..." menu,
selecting the correct paper size there.

That is because, probably on the server side, the file is being sent as
"mime/txt" which your browser recognizes as something it can display so it
does.
Just right click on the link, and select "save target as..." from the
resulting menu.
