Helen, The "_B" means a Bb, and the "z" means a rest.. so the portion in your message comes out to be eighth-note Bb followed by dotted quarter Bb, quarter note A, dotted half G, and two beats of rest in between lines. To use an ABC converter, you need to add a line of "X:1" at the beginning (as pointed out by Leeneia), and possibly a line of "L:1/8". Let me see if i can get this in shape for an actual converter, and post the link. (I was out for a couple of days, and need to go out of town this evening, but i'll get caught up eventually.) Lynn
