Say, folk1234, try the URL Alice posted again. It seems to work. I made it clickable in her message, so all you have to do is point and click.
I have to say that I still haven't caught on to the logic of ABC. Maybe there's just too much stuff to read at the ABC Home Page, and I get bleary-eyed and give up before the logic of it hits me. Anybody want to make a stab at typing up a clear, logical explanation of basic ABC - in 500 words or less? Can it be done?
What I do is cheat. I enter tunes on Noteworthy Composer, on an actual musical staff that I can understand. Then I create a MIDI from Noteworthy, and use Alan Foster's MIDITXT to post tunes here. Then I take the lazy way out and play the ABC version of tunes posted here, using my favorite ABC player, ABCMUS. If I really like a song, then I convert the posted version to a MIDI, using Alan's program.
Now if it took me all those words to explain how I do it the lazy way, can somebody actually come up with a clear, concise explanation of how to do it the right way?
