Hi Bob, I've had a new look at JAABC2PS an ABC Utility which will inter alia produce PennyWhistle Notation underneath the standard dots.

While the interface to this program is DOS command line and has a myriad of options, it really is quite simple to use for straightforward output.

The tune which I used for the query in this thread came from Mudcat MIDIs and is in 3 flats (Eb/Cm) I gather from previous correspondence that whistle players like to see the dots in D Major. All of this quite easy stuff, but a bit of stuffing around - open the MIDI file, transpose to D Major, export/convert to ABC file format and then run JAABC2PS and finally save to a more convenient image format than .PS (Postscript).

The real dilemma for me is not being a whistle player, I can never be certain that the choice of instrument key is appropriate. Once I've had a little play with JAABC2PS I'll start a new thread or re-invigorate an old one.

Regards, John

PS This utility will also do single melody/harmony TABS for just about any stringed instrument (up to 8 courses of strings) but I haven't explored this yet. I don't think that it handles lyrics?
