G'day again,

Mark: We know we are a long way from most everything ... we can make a virtue of it, if we try. I like the Vital Signs series and yours was well up to standard.

Aloha

MicK: I know there is a lot out there for ABC - I only see it as a by-product of Alan of Oz's MIDItxt program, but I know a lot of 'Catters use it as a sole medium ... and I know locals who use it, so should get a simple conversion program and grab stuff that is offered in the format After spending a long time as an 'ear player', then one who experimented with personal notation systems, I have come to "real" music notation as an enthusiastic convert, realising there is no need to invent wooden wheels, when there is already roller-bearing, mag-rim, pneumatic, luxury ride real dots ... but ABC bears looking at because no source should be overlooked.
