I have performed magic on stage in the past. There was of course always a
mundane behind-the-scenes explanation of what appeared to happen, there was
some effort needed to implement the tricks, some people to whom credit was
due, etc.
It's definitely magic.

abc is good for people who (1) are very experienced in the use of a computer,

IMHO I think abc is an excellent, efficient means of transporting tunes. That seems

They played one number I really liked but I was unable to learn it there and
then (no Mozart, I). I went to Chipenham Folk Festival last weekend and
someone played it in the English Session in

As you prob know I'm one extremely happy abc user. Yesterday I showed a
friend of mine my songbook, and he liked it, but had to ask If abc is so
cool, how come I haven't heard of it? Anyways I tried to give me a couple
of reasons to get into abc, but I prob missed some good ones, so please

In ABC, I think I'm faster when I'm typing in the octave that
doesn't use the capital letters, and I'm certainly faster when I don't
have to enter the commas or the apostrophes.
So is anyone working on an ABC application that allows this?

I disagree -- that makes the notes too context dependant, so you can't

When touch-typing abc you don't spend much time looking at the screen,
so the equivalent is:
*Look at the score, see that the next note is A and it's 1/8.
*Hit the Shift and A keys without taking your eyes off the score.
No competition.
