Subject: RE: Tech: Digital Tradition Programmer Needed
Might as well refresh this one - see if anything has happened...

I had a play with it over the weekend for my own ammusement. I know I have been given the abc for the current version but wouldn't have straight away for any new version so I thought I'd try my hand at an sw2abc php script and feed the results of that to abcm2ps, etc.

It needs a lot of work yet (if I get round to it) but it's getting there on some songs like this one are working. It will fail on multivoice, it's treating slurs as ties, some triplets are odd, and I don't know what else.

I know of Yet Another Digital tradition BTW but I think he goes to PMW (he used to go to Lilypond) for the graphics rather than abc and his abc conversions he offers don't seem to have words.
