Hi, Thanks to Dave Berman, I managed to find a free host for my website: http://hudsonlacerda.webs.com/ webs.com does not accept ZIP files and it is somewhat...
Dear ABC users, In this message I address some issues about writing classical guitar music in ABC, in the hope this can be useful. Comments and suggestions are...
I've written a few text-handling routines that renumber the X: fields in a file, sort tunes into alphabetical order by title, transpose tunes, move or copy...
Hi, I've got a minor problem - I'm using RunABC to print sheet music, and I can't stop abcm2ps or abc2ps from printing bar numbers above each bar line. I've...

Hudson— Do you have working links for those fmts? I've been shifting my decorations around, but I'd like to check out your translation extension before...
... Hi Henry, I am glad to hear from people implementing and using abcm2ps extensions. I think we could join efforts to design and implement extensions and ...
For those of you with enough Unix-savvy to understand the question ... Given (1) a command-line tool to massage ABC files, possibly in a batch, with (2) an...
In general, the correct behaviour for a Unix tool is to default to reading and writing to stdin/stdout, particularly when the output is of the same format as...

Calum is correct, the unix philosophy is of "small tools" in a plumbing process chain model of pipes, filters, sources and sinks. however, if you are modifying...
One other thing I would expect, as a Unix user, is to name the backup file with a tilde (~) character appended instead of changing the extension to .bak. So,...
+1 for me on the ~ idea, although most modern tools including Emacs will recognize both; I believe vi uses .bak quasi-related to this and almost completely...
... Well, there are enough unix tools using .bak -- but they usually do not *replace* the original extension (the concept of file name extensions is rather...
quasi-related to this and almost completely off-topic for abc but I'm asking ... What sort of transforms? I do almost all my audio file manipulations via...
thanks -- I know sox of course, but ecasound might be what I need, I'll check it out. What I want ideally is a simple command line way to invoke any of those...
... Ah, but that already is the default case, and was the first case coded. I'm up to adding a "-r for 'replace'" option, for batch processing of lots of...
... Easier for me, too ... how friendly is that to Windows users? (I don't have a native Windows C compiler, but I do plan to compile under Cygwin at least --...
... Again, less of a PITA for me to code ... but how friendly is this to Windows users when it gets ported? (I'm thinking more about the "principle of least...
Please include either a -h, -?, /h or /? to bring up a help file to explain what options are available. They are usually worth their weight in gold. I like...

Once he said me (by e-mail) that the process of sending a message to fetch the page may take two days to access a page... BTW, w3m runs inside Emacs. It is...
there is also a new emerging (and actively supported) text-mode emacs web browser -- this is important stuff to blind people as the emacs-based emacspeak...
... I can't tell. But there's a problem with just changing suffixes when using Windows: by default, Windows does not show suffixes of files, and uses those...
