Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lonely Little Robin (Cy Coben)
leeneia...
Might this help?:

The program "abcm2ps -c lonerobin-inC-3.abc 2>/dev/null " will create
a postscript file called Out.ps (assuming you put the abc code into a
file named lonerobin-inC-3.abc

(I'm hoping the combination of Automatic Linebreaks and html pre tags
gives something useable.)

 
% file: lonerobin-inC-3.abc

T:Lonely Little Robin
T:from lonelylittlerobin-leeneia.mid
T:(via midi2abc, vim(a text editor), abc2abc(to transpose), &c.)

W: There's a lonely little robin in a tree by my door.

W: 2.
W: I walk in the rain down the lane we knew so well
W: Where we strolled together for years,
W: And my cheeks are wet and it's hard for me to tell
W: If raindrops are fallin', or tears.
W:
W: 3.
W: Oh How I miss you when night begins to fall
W: And my heart recalls memories,
W: From outside my window I seem to hear you call,
W: But it's only the wind in the trees.
